Miniature libation cup, Dehua, Qing Dynasty, C1700

About the Item

Chinese porcelain libation cups of this period represent a fascinating aspect of Chinese ceramic art and cultural history. The Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) was renowned for its porcelain production, which reached its peak during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor (1662-1722) and continued to flourish through subsequent reigns. Libation cups, known as "zun" in Chinese, were vessels used for pouring and drinking alcoholic beverages during ceremonial occasions, rituals, or social gatherings. They often held symbolic significance beyond their utilitarian purpose and were associated with traditional Chinese customs and beliefs.
