Tall Profile Bird Cup, Under Glazed Qing Hua Porcelain 60 ml.

Description

STYLE

Vintage Qing Hua (under glaze blue painted) teacup from a thick porcelain covered with a Qing Bai (bluish white) glaze. This narrow and tall teacup similar to a smelling cup. Especially recommended for drinking fragrant teas, different types of oolong tea and puer tea. Old Jingdezhen porcelain, almost unbreakable.

Chinese flower and bird painting became very popular in China during the Tang and Song periods. The birds and flowers in the pictures have their own symbolism, from which a hidden meaning or story can be read. The rim of the cup is decorated with a leiwen motif, which has been found in Chinese and other cultures’ pictographs since ancient times. The birds pictured among the flowering peony branches represent a good luck wish: wealth, rank and honour for the whole house.
