18th century
Exquisitely worked in the form of an archaistic wine vessel, jue, the cup of flared form raised on three plantain-shaped spreading legs, the body superbly carved in low relief with a central register enclosing two taotie masks formed of pairs of confronted stylised kui dragons, reserved on a leiwen ground, below a band of upright-cicada blades and a key-fret border around and on the rim as well as framing the ridged feet each issuing from the jaws of a taotie mask and terminating in a leaf, with a pierced scroll-shaped twin handle supporting a chi dragon clambering over the rim, flanked by two further young dragons clambering over each side, the horn of a dark coffee-brown tone. 15.2cm (6in) long
