A lovely octagonal cup decorated in underglaze cobalt blue with alternating panels of landscapes and flower motifs around the outside and a landscape on the inside.

A finely turned footrim and a slightly scalloped edge picked out with a single blue line.

This is a very small cup, for tea or possibly wine.  A charming little piece, I think probably from late Kangxi period 1700-1720.
