Tang-dynasty silver cups of this elegant, slightly waisted shape are known both with and without a handle. One of the latter type, decorated with geese in flight amidst plants, is illustrated by Han Wei and Christian Deydier, Ancient Chinese Gold, Paris, 2001, p. 151, pl. 374. Examples with a handle similar to that on the present cup, include the cup illustrated in Tang, Eskenazi, London, 1987, no. 8, which is decorated with scrolling grapevine and peony scroll on a ring-punched ground, and two others illustrated in Zui to no bijutsu, Osaka Municipal Museum, 1976, nos. 2-28 and 2-30. The handle on the Eskenazi cup is described as being "pinned to the cup through a floral applique." Unlike the decoration on the aforementioned cups, the decoration on the present cup covers the entire surface of the sides rather than being separated by a narrow bow-string band from a narrow band of decoration below the rim.
