White ware cup with garland handle Side

Wangye Museum

Wangye Museum
Shenzhen, China

This cup has a mouth, a cylindrical body, and a ring-shaped handle. It has a flared ring foot. The entire object is glazed with a white glaze that is starting to flake. The foot is unglazed. The object is emulating the style of Sogdian gold and silver items. The object has a plain and minimalist style, without any motif or decoration. It suggests that the culture in the Central Plain of China was inclusive. The object is similar to the gold and silver vessels excavated from the Hejia Village Hoard in the southern suburbs of Xi’an, the capital of the Tang dynasty.
