Chinese Republic porcelain brush pot in Yongzheng style with a butterfly and floral design
Chinese finely decorated brush pot made in the Yongzheng style, showcasing a traditional cylindrical form. The pot features detailed hand-painted butterflies in vibrant, lifelike colours flying above lush floral arrangements, exemplifying the delicate enamel work and elegant natural themes typical of the Yongzheng period.
The reverse side is adorned with two red seals alongside a poetic inscription in black calligraphy reading:
故園蛺蝶最多情
百草長時花亂開
窮巷春風元不到
一雙進遣過墻來
The butterflies in the old garden are the most affectionate,
When the grass grows the flowers blossom in disorder,
The spring breeze never reaches the alley,
Who sent a pair of butterflies over the wall?
The brush pot is framed with a reddish-brown rim and base, which contrasts nicely with the smooth white porcelain. The meticulous craftsmanship, fine detailing, and graceful decoration make it a striking example of Yongzheng-style porcelain, known for its refined aesthetic and quality.
The base is marked with an apocryphal four-character marking:
雍正年製 Made in the Yongzheng Reign
1980 g
18.5 cm tall
15 cm top diameter
17.5 cm base diameter
