Lot Essay

'Month' cups were produced in the Kangxi period (1662-1722) in both famille-verte and blue and white palettes. While most Kangxi 'month' cups are inscribed with reign marks in two lines, the current lot is very rare bearing a mark in three lines.

The present cup is associated with the second lunar month of the year. Refer to a complete set of famille verte ‘month’ cups in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong: Qing Porcelain from the Palace Museum Collection, Hong Kong, 1989, no. 48.
