Bell-shaped cup modelled in the shape of a flower c. 1740 - 1760

This small, bell-shaped porcelain cup, dating from the mid-18th century, is a fine example of Chinese craftsmanship. The cup is meticulously molded in the shape of a flower, with a delicate rim and a base formed by a single petal. It is decorated with a pink and green glaze, adding to the intricate details of the design. The cup, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artistry and sophistication of Chinese ceramics during the Qing dynasty.
