Song Motif Coasters (Set of 4)
This elegant set of four tea coasters is inspired by classic Song Dynasty artwork, featuring two timeless motifs: "Butterfly Loves Flowers" and "Magpie." The "Butterfly Loves Flowers" design portrays the ephemeral yet passionate love between the butterfly and the flower, symbolizing fleeting beauty and the passage of time. This design evokes Zhuangzi's famous allegory of "Zhuang Zhou's Dream of a Butterfly," suggesting the philosophical reflection on the transient nature of life.
In contrast, the "Magpie" design is a symbol of good fortune, representing optimism and the arrival of joyful moments, as reflected in ancient Chinese poetry. The magpie’s joyful presence is seen as a sign of happiness, fortune, and success.
The delicate representations featured on these coasters offer a meaningful and harmonious aesthetic, elevating your tableware with a blend of historical significance and artistic beauty.
