Cup in the shape of an archaic vessel with feline dragons. Culture: China. Dimensions: H. 4 in. (10.2 cm). Date: 17th century. The jutting lip of this cup derives from the shape of a jue, a bronze cup found in China's Bronze Age. Some of the linear interlocked decoration on the middle section of the cup is also loosely based on the decorative imagery of that period, which was widely known through illustrations in antiquarian catalogues and collector's manuals. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
