My husband inherited this and I have been to some local antique stores and they cannot give me any answers on what this is. One person said it was a rose medallion ginger jar. Thank you.

It looks Asian inspired to me. I would contact a dealer who specializes in Asian pottery.
It does appear to be a Chinese Porcelain Rose Medallion Ginger Jar but you will need to have your ginger jar appraised by an expert.
This is a Chinese Ginger Jar www.1stdibs.com/
or Spice Jar / Baluster Urn
You didn't add a photo of the backstamp, so it's quite difficult to estimate your ginger jar. But I think it's from 1940s.
Rose Medallion is a type of Chinese export porcelain originating in the 1850s.
Rose Medallion has a unique pattern, often containing a central medallion with four or more panels with motifs and with dominant colors - pastel pinks and greens that can also include red, blue, yellow and gold.
Rose Medallion is oftentimes used as a blanket term to describe all porcelain of a similar configuration. But if there are no birds or people in pattern, that is Rose Canton. If there are people, but no birds, that is known as Rose Mandarin.
