Lot Essay

Song dynasty cups and stands of foliate form such as the present lot take their shape from contemporary silver vessels.
Compare the current lot to a similar Qingbai cup and stand with foliate rim in the British Museum, illustrated in The British Museum Book of Chinese Art, London, 1992, p.29, no. 9.
