Rare Chinese Famille Verte Bok Choy Cabbage Pattern. Emerald green bok choy with multicolored butterfly insect adornments. Finished off with a traditional Chinese brass border and shell.
The butterfly and bok choy pattern, also referred to as the "Chinese Cabbage and Butterfly" or "Famille Verte Bok Choy" design, is a well-known motif in Chinese export porcelain from the 18th and 19th centuries. It showcases stylized images of bok choy leaves, often accompanied by butterflies and occasionally other insects or flowers, arranged around a central medallion. This pattern is linked to Chinoiserie, an artistic style inspired by Chinese and East Asian traditions.
The depiction of Chinese cabbage (bai cai) symbolizes fetrility and chastity especially in the context of marriage. The white of the cabbage is associated with purity and chastity. Bok Choy is sometime associated with unexpected fortune as well.
The cabbage and insect imagery in China can be traced back to the Yuan to early Ming Dynasty 13th - 15th century.
