Chinese 19C Bleu de Hue Bitong Butterflies Flowers Cobalt Blue Vietnamese

Description

Chinese porcelain Bitong (笔筒) 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"

Shipping Rules

FOR ALL PACKAGES OUTSIDE EUROPE: Shipping times can vary a lot depending on Customs & Shipping Company speed. We can not control this. For China (& rest of Asia) & US allow at least 2 to 3 weeks. Depending on the situation it can take up to 1.5 month. Rare cases of even 2 months have been seen to CHINA (and rest of ASIA), this has to do with slow customs procedures. This also influences the tracking data shown online. Please be patient!
