Beautiful and unique piece of Chinese-Cantonese porcelain. The combination of porcelain with brass edges, decorated with fish and flowers, is typical of the refined art of the 19th century in China.
In Chinese culture, fish are often symbolic of abundance and prosperity, while flowers can have different meanings depending on the species. The signature on the bottom can also provide valuable information about the maker or the period in which the piece was made.
The Chinese Canton ritual wine cup, also known as "jue," is a traditional piece of ceramic found widely in Chinese culture, especially during the Zhou Dynasty (circa 1046–256 BCE). The jue is a type of wine cup often used during ceremonial rituals and sacrifices.
Functional role: The jue played an important role in religious and social rituals, where wine was served to ancestors or gods as a sign of respect and reverence.
Dimensions: Height 13 cm, width 9 cm, depth 7 cm and 207 grams
