This cup is handcrafted by artisans using a wheel-throwing technique, shaped like a magnolia blossom. The magnolia flower, symbolizing steadfastness and purity, is delicately carved onto the body of the cup using the semi-carving method. The piece is glazed with the sky-blue glaze favored by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, exuding a refined and scholarly atmosphere typical of literati culture.
