This blue & white straight sided cup is inspired by the painting "Daming Palace," which depicts the panoramic view of the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty. This artwork vividly recreates the magnificent grandeur of this royal palace complex from a bird's eye view. The cup is crafted using blue and white porcelain, a mainstream variety of Chinese porcelain, also known as white ground blue & white porcelain. Blue & white porcelain is made by using cobalt ore containing cobalt oxide as a raw material, painting patterns on the ceramic body, applying a layer of transparent glaze, and then firing it in a high temperature reducing flame. This straight sided cup is not only a beautiful tea utensil but also an artwork that embodies history and culture.
