Description

This is a light and delicate colorful porcelain cup, painted with two butterflies fluttering among the mountains, rocks, flowers, and grass on the pure white and delicate, thin like cicada wings of the body. It is worth noting that the purple glaze on the wings of one of the butterflies is thick and matte, but this is precisely the inherent characteristic of the Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai, which is also something that later imitations cannot imitate. This purple color is called "brilliant purple" or "poor purple".
