Hand Painted Chinese Enamel Butterfly Gaiwan Set Jingdezhen Master Ceramic Artwork Pink Glaze

This Jingdezhen artwork gaiwan is painted with Chinese Butterflies in Love with Flowers and is made by Jingdezhen experienced craftsman. 

The butterfly in love flower with flower 蝶恋花 is one of the traditional Chinese patterns. Painting the butterfly in love flower on porcelain not only has elegant colors and lively pictures, but also has auspicious meanings. In Chinese, "蝶" (butterfly) and "耋" (die) have the same pronunciation, which symbolizes peace and longevity.

Enamel color has the characteristics of thick, bright, opaque and rich layers, has a strong three-dimensional effect, and has the texture of an oil painting.

During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty (1662-1722), French metal enamel craftsmanship was introduced to China. Later, through the innovation of Chinese craftsmen, Chinese mineral pigments were used and replaced with porcelain bodies, forming enamel-colored porcelain. Enamel-colored porcelain is an overglaze color (on-glaze decoration), After firing, the enamel-colored porcelain will feel convex to the touch.

The themes of enamel porcelain are mostly painted with symmetrical floral patterns such as peonies, roses, lotus, and chrysanthemums in colors such as yellow, red, blue, pea green, and purple.

The pink part on the back of the cup is made of colored glaze, and there is a maker's stamp on the bottom.
