Description

100% Hand-Painted Jingdezhen Ya Shou Cup (Hand-Pressing Cup)

Experience the pinnacle of Jingdezhen craftsmanship with this unique Ya Shou Cup. Hand-thrown and 100% hand-painted, this piece features the classic underglaze blue and underglaze red palette, bringing together two revered floral motifs in a single, harmonious composition.

A Symphony of Blooms: Lotus and Chrysanthemum

The exterior is a canvas of continuous scrolling florals. Lotus and chrysanthemum grow together along a continuous vine, rendered in rich underglaze blue. The blooming flowers are painted in vibrant underglaze red, while unopened pointed buds alternate with the round blossoms. This dual silhouette—round when open, pointed when budding—creates a captivating visual rhythm.

Form and Structure: The Hand-Pressing Shape

The cup features the iconic Ya Shou profile: a flared rim, a rounded belly, and a small recessed foot. The shape is designed to rest perfectly in the hand, with the rim gently pressing against the webbing between the thumb and index finger (the “tiger’s mouth”) for a comfortable, secure grip. A pointed arch band borders the rim, framing the design from the top, while the interior features a large red roundel in a double circle, surrounded by delicate blue leaves.
