Description

This artwork has a small and exquisite design, with a light and delicate body, a light and beautiful glaze, exquisite patterns, and a tranquil and elegant style. The color is bright and not irritable, and it is naturally soft. The belly of the cup is outlined in underglaze blue and white, with grape branches and vines colored in red, green, yellow, and purple. Purple is quite precious and difficult to burn, making it difficult to achieve color. This pair of artifacts is perfectly presented, with a beautiful purple and icy color that is pleasing to the eye. The brushstrokes are delicate and skilled, with lush branches and leaves, intertwined with vines, and abundant grape harvests and fruits, symbolizing the scene of multiple children and multiple blessings. This product has a body with white teeth and a glaze resembling jade. The composition is rigorous and the lines are smooth, and the painting is meticulous and vivid. This style of high foot cup was first created by Emperor Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty and was referred to as the "Doucai Grape High Foot Cup" by Ming Wei Gu Tai in his "Natural History Overview", which states: "The top grade of the Chengyao kiln praises the Doucai Grape High Foot Cup, metaphorically referring to this treasure as an unparalleled treasure, with a more exquisite style than the Xuanbei cup." The pair is even more precious and worth collecting!
