Couldn't load pickup availability
A spectacular oversized Chinese porcelain charger in the iconic Tobacco Leaf tradition, measuring an impressive 16.5 inches in diameter.
The richly decorated surface features enormous overlapping leaves in shades of powder blue, celadon green, chartreuse and pink, anchored by a dramatic central flowering blossom. Delicate flowering branches, smaller botanical sprays and an elegant bird are scattered throughout the composition, while fine gilt detailing adds another layer of ornament.
The design draws directly from the celebrated Chinese Export Tobacco Leaf patterns of the 18th century, whose exuberant combinations of flowers, birds and brilliantly colored foliage became some of the most recognizable designs produced for the Western market. This example is a later Chinese revival of that historic decorative tradition rather than an original 18th-century export piece.
The reverse is decorated with additional floral motifs and bears a distinctive red Chinese portrait-style mark.
At 16.5” diameter, the scale is exceptional. These large chargers are wonderful displayed individually on a wall, layered behind books and porcelain, or incorporated into a dramatic collection of blue-and-white and Chinese export-inspired ceramics.
The same style of oversized Tobacco Leaf charger can be found incorporated into richly layered traditional interiors—including displays at Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, where their vivid color and scale work beautifully among collected furnishings.
