    Description

    Sacred Bird & Butterfly Scalloped Bowl
    created by Mottahedeh
    The Sacred Butterfly was a Chinese export pattern of about 1800 and was intended for those
    who admired the sophistication of placing traditional Chinese motifs of birds,
    butterflies and flowers on European shapes. The Chinese word for butterfly, tieh,
    is a pun which expresses the wish that the owner might live to a ripe age.
    These motifs were rendered with characteristic understatement in the traditional
    Chinese orange and gold colors in an all-over pattern. The marriage of shape and design was a success
    and was reproduced in English china of about 1800-1810. The reproductions are
    based on originals in Historic Charlston.
