A FINE FAMILLE VERTE 'LOTUS' CUP
QING DYNASTY (1644-1911)
The cup is delicately potted with flaring sides, with the exterior painted and enamelled representing the sixth month with a mandarin duck swimming in a lotus pond with a kingfisher in flight overhead. The reverse has an inscription which may be translated as 'Jade-like, the lotus root is untainted by muddy waters; the gathering dew drops are like pearls on its heart-shaped leaves', followed by a seal mark reading Shang, 'Appreciation'. The base is inscribed with an apocrythal Kangxi mark.
