This octagonal blue & white cup is inspired by the renowned artist Zhang Xiaoyou's masterpiece, "Southern Nostalgia." This painting vividly depicts the customs and lifestyle of the Jiangnan water towns during the Qing Dynasty, masterfully blending traditional Chinese "jiehua" painting techniques with Western realistic perspective. This artwork is then presented with the classic blue and white porcelain, one of the mainstream varieties of Chinese porcelain. Blue and white porcelain, also known as white ground 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 octagonal cup is not only a beautiful tea utensil but also a treasure that embodies history and art.
