Presented here is an exquisite example of traditional Chinese craftsmanship – the "Qing Hua Ci" (Blue and White Porcelain) tea cup, featuring a charming handpainted deer under the glaze. This 80cc vessel is a testament to the timeless art of Chinese porcelain, known for its delicate beauty and durability.
The cup's design showcases the serene elegance of a lone deer amidst a tranquil scene, a symbol often associated with longevity and good fortune in Chinese culture. The brushwork is subtle and evocative, rendered in the classic cobalt blue that has been treasured since the Yuan dynasty for its depth and vibrancy. This color choice is not only aesthetically pleasing but also culturally significant, representing the fusion of Chinese artistry with imported materials and techniques.
