The upper section is glazed in a dusky rose-mauve, scattered with raised white dots that suggest the surface of a wing. As the handle widens, it transitions through amber-yellow and soft lavender, opening into a butterfly wing form with finely modelled vein detail. At the junction of handle and bowl, a fully sculpted butterfly body in brown anchors the composition, with orange-amber wings extending outward in low relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl is ivory-white, graduating to soft celadon at the tip, finished with a narrow pink-mauve band at the rim. The underside carries the underglaze blue Franz mark and red seal stamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spoon is in mint, unused condition. There are no chips, cracks, or loss of any kind. All sculptural elements are intact.
