Description

The Lotus vine Cup is an ancient Chinese ceramic vessel characterized by a pedestal-like support at the bottom and decorated with a lotus vine pattern. These cups are often made of porcelain and possess high artistic and collectible value.

The lotus vine pattern is a classic motif in traditional Chinese culture, symbolizing auspiciousness, prosperity, and wealth. This pattern features lotus flowers and vines as the main elements, with intertwined vines creating a visually appealing decorative effect. In ancient Chinese ceramics, this pattern was very common and widely applied to various types of vessels, such as vases, bowls, plates, and cups.

The pedestal cup is a special form of cup with a small pedestal at the bottom, providing support. This design not only enhances the stability of the cup but also offers high ornamental value. The Lotus Vine Pedestal Cup combines these two elements, forming a ceramic vessel rich in cultural atmosphere and artistic charm. In the collectibles market, this type of cup is often highly valued.
