About the Item

Symmetrical, sculptural, and full of story, this striking pair of vases draws inspiration from the iconic Tobacco Leaf tradition. Painterly florals in saturated tones unfold across the surface, accompanied by perched birds and intricate foliage that speak to the artistry of hand-painted porcelain. The hexagonal silhouette introduces an architectural balance, while the sculpted peach handles curl with a flourish—equal parts whimsical and refined. Their scale and presence make them ideal statement pieces, whether flanking a mantel, anchoring a console, or styled as a dramatic centerpiece. The detailed brushwork and lively palette ensure they hold the eye from every angle, offering a timeless mix of elegance and personality that suits both traditional and eclectic interiors alike.

Likely crafted for export during the late 19th to early 20th century, the forms draw on both Eastern and Western design language. The koi, long revered in Chinese symbolism as icons of prosperity, endurance, and transformation, are paired here with a dramatic sculptural presence that evokes Victorian maximalism. These bases are versatile in application—ideal as supports for a custom marble or glass dining table, or used separately as twin console tables...
