Condition
Apart from a 1 cm line in the body (not a crack) covered beneath the glaze (located at the six o'clock position), only visible from the interior, the overall condition is very good with little wear to the enamelling. The glaze in a 4 cm section on the rim is a little matte, but it occured during firing.

The design of butterflies and peonies has traditionally been a favoured motif in China for its highly auspicious qualities, with the peony symbolising wealth and honour, and the butterflies (hudie) representing the wish for 'accumulation of blessings' (fudie). Depicted together they convey the message for many blessings, wealth and high social status (fudie fugui). The present dish is remarkable for its fine potting and naturalistic painting style characteristic of the best quality Yongzheng wares. The design is also striking for its combination of highly stylised rockwork, skilfully painted in washes of underglaze-blue in the manner of ink painting, and the flowers executed in the bright doucai palette of glossy overglaze enamels.
