About the Item

This stunning Chinese bok choy porcelain planter features a vivid palette of famille verte enamels, intricate botanical motifs, and gilt embellishments, all wrapped around a gracefully flared form. The central panels showcase auspicious elements—peonies, fruits, and flowering branches—symbolizing prosperity, longevity, and abundance in traditional Chinese art. Likely made in the mid-20th century as a tribute to Qing Dynasty export porcelain, this piece exemplifies the decorative style of Canton or Jingdezhen kilns, where artisan potters revived imperial patterns for the Western and pan-Asian markets. The name "bok choy planter" refers to the scalloped green bands that resemble stylized cabbage leaves, long used in Chinese symbolism to represent wealth and renewal. The generous size and elegant shape make it ideal for styling as a statement indoor planter, cachepot, or even as a standalone sculptural vessel in any space that blends chinoiserie, Hollywood Regency, or eclectic maximalist design. Features: Hand-painted famille verte porcelain with gilded accents Central medallions of peony, lotus, and fruit blossoms Rich green bok choy motif at top and base Mid-20th century; likely Chinese export from Canton or Jingdezhen Excellent condition with minor age-appropriate wear Traditional Qing-style form and palette Styling Ideas: Use this planter to anchor a corner with geraniums, peonies, or cascading fern. Perfect on a pedestal, console, or flanking a fireplace for added symmetry and height. For tablescapes or entryways, fill with flowering branches, orchids, or seasonal arrangements. This piece shines in Palm Beach Regency, chinoiserie chic, or modern eclectic interiors. Dimensions: 8" Diameter 6" Tall 3 lbs
