Butter Boat, Two Peony Rockbird Pattern, Worcester, circa 1755
About the Item
A particularly successful dish, formed in the shape of a leaf, and decorated with underglaze blue painting after the Chinese.
The Two Peony Rockbird pattern is a traditional Chinese decorative design that has been used in various forms of art and craftsmanship for centuries. The design features two peonies, a type of flowering plant that is highly prized in Chinese culture for its beauty and symbolic value, and a rockbird, a mythical creature with a bird's body and a dragon's head.
In the Two Peony Rockbird pattern, the peonies are often depicted in bloom, with large, lush petals and bright colors, and the rockbird is shown perched on a rock or a branch nearby. The design is usually rendered in bold, dramatic lines and colors, and is often used in embroidery, pottery, lacquerware, and other forms of Chinese art and decoration.
The Two Peony Rockbird pattern has deep cultural significance in China, where the peony is considered the "king of flowers" and a symbol of wealth, prosperity, and good fortune. The rockbird, meanwhile, is associated with strength, power, and nobility, and is often depicted in Chinese mythology as a guardian or protector.
