Chenghua Six-Characters Mark
This pair of cups are delicately potted with rounded sides rising from a countersunk base to a gently flared rim，the exterior finely decorated with a fluttering butterfly on one side and flowering plants borne on leafy stems issuing from the ground on the other，the base inscribed in underglaze blue with a six-character Chenghua mark within a double square in imitation of Ming wares. Exquisitely painted with butterflies in flight and delicate flowering and fruiting sprays，cups of this type are a testament to the technical developments achieved at Jingdezhen in the early Qing dynasty.
