About the Item
Description
Chinese porcelain Bitong (??) or Brushpots is a container for holding the brushes used by scribes for Chinese calligraphy. These are typically carved from bamboo, jade or porcelain with ornate motifs symbolising concepts such as longevity. Antique examples are now valued highly.?
?
The piece we are sharing here just arrived and is of cylindrical form, painted an ongoing scene of butterflies and flowers. The piece is dated to the 19th century in our opinion and either related to or part of the Blue de Hue family. ?
Butterfly - joy and conjugal felicity. Butterfly is pronounced in homonym with the word die which means a 80 years old. Two butterflies together is meant a wish of "longevity". "Die" is also pronounced similar to another word which means to "pile up" or "repeat" - and thus given the meaning "many"
