Blue and White Lotus Scrolling Pattern Cup with Baoxiang Design

Derived from one of the three famous Ming Dynasty blue and white cups, the "Blue and White Baoxiang Lotus Scrolling Pattern Cup."

This cup has a thick and heavy body with a deep blue color, highlighting a sense of simplicity and solidity.

The blue and white lotus pattern is a common design in Chinese porcelain. The intricate patterns of lotus flowers, leaves, and vines are usually painted in a vibrant cobalt blue under the glaze, creating a striking contrast against the white porcelain background. This style of decoration became especially prominent during the Yuan (1279-1368) and Ming (1368-1644) dynasties and continues to be cherished for its elegance and timeless appeal.

The cup is painted by an experienced artist from Jingdezhen. The design features continuous and seamless patterns, executed with meticulous detail. The blue and white color is pure and clean, resembling a sapphire blue, which matches a tranquil and harmonious ambiance. At the same time, it exudes an understated yet luxurious aura, reflecting an expression of elegance that is modest but not lacking in opulence.
