A FINE AND RARE SMALL MING-STYLE DOUCAI ‘CHICKEN’ CUP
KANGXI-YONGZHENG PERIOD (1662-1735)
The cup is finely potted with thin rounded sides, delicately painted to the exterior in soft translucent enamels and underglaze blue with
a continuous scene depicting two groups of cockerel, separated by tall garden rocks in underglaze-blue wash, one partially concealing
a palm tree and yellow day lilies, the other a rose bush with ironred flowers, all between a blue double-line border around the mouth rim and a single line above the footless, countersunk base, which bears an apocryphal six-character Chenghua mark within a double square.
2 3/8 in. (6 cm.) diam., box
