This high-stemmed cup has a fairly wide mouth, deep belly, and outward-arching round foot. Only the inside is covered with celadon glaze of faint hue but smooth luster. The central part is engraved with a plum blossom design, with the outlines of the petals clearly discernible. The outer parts are plain and unglazed, the only adornment being two simple lines running around the stem. This is a special piece of Longquan ware, well worth a collector’s attention. When the cup is filled with liquid, the play of the plum blossoms at the bottom makes for an entertaining diversion.
