Nesting Wine Cup
The Nesting Wine Cup by an unknown artist features a white ceramic cup with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The cup has a rounded body that curves outward slightly toward the top. A black design on the side includes a branch with leaves and seed pods. Above the design are several Chinese characters in black. The inside rim of the cup has an upside-down number. The background is dark gray with a lighter gray fabric surface on which the cup rests. The overall image is in black and white.
