Chinese Style Porcelain Cup & Holder

Fired in Longquan by the country's famed modern ceramic artist Huixian Lei, this elegant Chinese style cup and holder is richly covered in bluish-green lustrous Celadon glaze. The cup sits on a short foot ring, from which the cylindrical body, encircled by two bow-string bands in the middle, raises towards a lightly everted edge on which the glaze thins slightly to accentuate the fine details of the work. The holder is characterised by copper-brown trimmed rims enclosing a remarkable key-fret border.
