This late 19th-century Vienna porcelain charger exhibits a vibrant hand-painted polychrome cavalry battle scene at the centre, with soldiers on horseback and fallen figures on the ground beneath a clouded sky. The surface displays a gloss glaze finish over detailed enamel decoration in shades of blue, red, brown, and green. Encircling the artwork is a wide geometric border rendered in rich red and gold leaf, interspersed with pale green enamelled cartouches and yellow square medallions containing floral motifs. The circular piece stands 5 cm high and measures 54.5 cm wide. Suitable for placement in a gentleman's library, the charger rests securely above a sideboard or display unit as a decorative wall or table plate. The formal composition and historic narrative add a sophisticated historical element to traditional interior schemes. Collectors of nineteenth-century European ceramics use such chargers to anchor traditional tabletop arrangements or display them within dedicated display cabinets.

FAQs

A Vienna porcelain charger is a large decorative ceramic plate originated in Austria, notable for elaborate hand-painted central artwork and ornate gilded borders, typically produced for display rather than dining.

These chargers are crafted from hard-paste porcelain, decorated using overglaze mineral enamels for detailed figurative scenes, and finished with burnished gold leaf gilding along the rim.

Authentic pieces usually feature the blue underglaze beehive or shield mark, exceptionally fine hand-painted brushwork rather than transfer prints, and heavy, multi-layered gilding on the border.

Display the charger on a plate stand atop a sideboard or mount it securely within a gallery wall arrangement to introduce rich historical colour and narrative detail to a contemporary space.

Dust gently with a dry microfibre cloth or soft brush. Avoid water immersion, abrasive cleaners, or chemical solvents, as these can erode delicate overglaze enamels and gilding.
