Madame Butterfly by Carolien BoschCrockery and butterflies appear to have little in common, but nothing could be further from the truth. Both are known for their symbolic meaning of luck, beauty and fragility. In Egypt, China and Japan a butterfly resembles luck. In the Netherlands we have the saying scherven brengen geluk (shards bring luck). In Japan kintsugi is the art of repairing broken crockery with gold or silver-coloured glue. The visible traces of the cracks and repair contribute to the beauty of a subject.
