Wine Cup

Chinese Qing Dynasty

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a ceramic cup with a scalloped edge and a square handle. The cup has vertical panels with floral designs in green and white against a pale pink background. There is a green band with a repetitive pattern around the top rim. The interior of the cup is yellow, and the entire piece is made of glazed ceramic, giving it a glossy finish. The cup seems small, resembling a teacup.
