Cup with figures in a landscape

China

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 219

The gateway at the base of the cup is most likely part of a private estate or large garden set in a remote but beautiful location. The branches and needles of one of the pine trees carved along the side and in the interior attest to the skill of the anonymous artist who made this object.
