Famille Noire Ginger Jar Lamp
Regular price
HK$2,800.00
This rare, highly-coloured base features peonies and a pair of butterflies. It is in the style of 'Famille Rose', a type of Chinese Porcelain which was first introduced in the 18th century.
The design is defined by its use of colour which was originally introduced to reflect a more European style. The butterfly is a symbol of happiness as well as matrimonial joy. Butterflies together represent longevity, because the Chinese name for butterfly sounds like the word, ‘repeat’ – meaning a long life.
