Underglaze red butterfly pen holder

[In-glaze red butterfly pen holder]

In-glaze red butterfly pen holder, Qing Yongzheng, height 15.6 cm, caliber 18.3 cm, bottom diameter 18.3 cm
The pen holder is cylindrical, with a straight wall and a jade wall bottom. White glaze is applied inside. The outer wall is underglazed with red decoration. There are two groups of theme patterns, one group is painted with cave stone, chrysanthemum, peony and three butterflies flying; Another group painted magpies climbing plum trees. Apply white glaze inside the circle foot. The outsole is printed with blue and white regular script “made in Yongzheng year of the Qing Dynasty” in three lines and six characters, and the outer blue and white double circles
This pen holder is firm and glossy. The hair color of underglaze red is slightly insufficient, but it is precisely the layer formed by this defect that adds a bit of interest to the picture. The two pictures on the pen holder are metaphorical meaning of “exploring flowers” and “happy eyebrows”. It is just right to use this pattern to decorate the pen holder.
