Cup with moulded, twisted panels with flower sprays c. 1680 - 1720

This small, delicately crafted cup, dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, is a fine example of blue and white porcelain. Its unique design features molded, twisted panels that are adorned with intricate floral sprays, painted in a vibrant cobalt blue. This cup, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to the skill of anonymous Chinese artisans who created such exquisite and enduring works of art.
