Pair of Chinese Qianlong Period Tobacco Leaf Baluster Vases and Covers

About the Item

Each small vase richly enameled with the classic pattern in vivid famille rose colors heightened in gilt. A pair of tobacco leaf pattern vases of this quality and condition and very rare to find and are highly sought after. Tobacco leaf is a beautiful pattern and is aesthetically very pleasing in modern home décor. There are many examples of 18th century tobacco leaf porcelain which brought large amounts of money in high-end auctions, such as Sotheby's. China, circa 1775. Tobacco Leaf, one of the most prized of Chinese Export patterns, was developed circa 1770, probably for the Portuguese and Brazilian markets - though examples have also been found in other European countries and in North America. The design shows the leaves of the flowering Nicotiana (Tobacco) plant upon. The joyous exuberance of the Tobacco Leaf pattern is undiminished by time.
