Decoration of flowering branches with butterflies in famille verte colors against a glazed background in powder blue.
Height 31 cm.
In Chinese ceramics, powder blue was commonly used during the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912), especially during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor (1662–1722). The color was achieved by using a special type of glaze that contained cobalt oxide as a dye. When the objects were glazed and fired in the kiln, the cobalt oxide reacted with the clay and glaze to create the characteristic blue hue. The result was a deep, matte blue color with an almost powdery quality, giving rise to the name "powder blue".
Normal wear and tear.
