This mirror takes the shape of a butterfly and its design from the Wanchun Pavilion (万春亭), the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Springs, in the Imperial Garden (御花园) of the Forbidden City. The garden lies on the central axis of the palace, known as the rear palace garden in the Ming and the Imperial Garden in the Qing, its rare stones and fine trees set among pavilions of great delicacy. Here the pavilion rises among wisteria and blossom, with butterflies turning through the flowers, all the bright life of a spring day held in the palm of the hand.

A Note on Authenticity
Lower-priced copies of these mirrors circulate widely in the market. They can resemble ours in a photograph, yet they differ in the materials used, the quality of the enamel and plating, and the care taken in their finishing. Every Tang Heritage mirror is a genuine article, sourced and finished to the standard we stand behind, and its quality shows in the hand. We ask that you purchase only from Tang Heritage or our authorised channels, and that you exercise caution with listings priced well below ours, as they are unlikely to be the same piece.
Care
Keep away from hard or sharp objects to protect the surface design. Wipe the mirror gently with a soft, dry cloth. The mirror ships with a protective film on its surface; peel it away before first use, it is not a scratch. Store in its box when not in use.
