This is a stunning, large-format 13-inch vintage Chinese cinnabar-style lacquer charger plate, beautifully hand-carved with exceptional dual-sided decorative motifs.
The interior face showcases the traditional "Wufu" theme, featuring deeply carved bats swirling around central peaches of longevity set against a geometric wave motif. The exterior underside rim is equally impressive, detailed with a crisp chrysanthemum floral border and an incised key-fret (leiwen) foot rim. The underside features a carved, apocryphal six-character Qianlong reign mark ("大清乾隆年製").
Crafted in the mid-to-late 20th century using a dense, uniform lacquer paste composition, every centimeter of this piece displays authentic artisan hand-tooling rather than molded production—visible in the intricate honeycomb texturing on the peaches and sharp geometric background grids. A substantial and heavy statement piece, it makes a magnificent focal point for high-end Chinoiserie or traditional Asian art collections.
