表怕！我帮你搜了一下这个ginger jar的资料

Porcelain Chinese ginger jars were originally used to store food supplies like salt, herbs, oil and ginger (rare spices at that time), other ginger jars were allocated to be used as gifts. The jars acquired the name “ginger jars” because they often contained ginger when they were exported to the West.

Ginger jar作为家中摆设一点问题没有，很多人家里都有收藏。我连汉代出土陶罐都摆在家里了，百无禁忌。：）
