Line D “Green Butterfly” Lighter / 017326
The Lighter is part of S.T. Dupont Fantaisies Series, a special collection from 2001, made up of Limited Edition Line D lighters, with a stylish, eye-catching design. The green butterfly with yellow accents decorates both sides of the lighter, depicted on ivory-coloured lacquer.
To Chinese, butterflies symbolize freedom, conjugal love, beauty and soul but at the same time death, vulnerability of life, female vanity and transient joy. In traditional Chinese culture, death is anyway not seen as an end, but a metamorphosis into another form of existence. Its metamorphosis is the extrication from flesh to soul and rise from the heavy, ugly reality to the light and beautiful spiritual world.
