C. 1875 Chinese Export Wine Cup or Chalice by Sheng Chang / Wang Hing 慎昌, Canton (166 grams)(8 ounces)
$2,500.00
A ca 1875 wine cup by Sheng Chang (慎昌) and retailed by Wang Hing Cup with elegant repousse of magpies and chrysanthemums, acanthus leaves at the stem, and grapes on the stem. Age appropriate patina. Light surface scratches as you might expect from a wine cup of this age. This one goes right to the head of the table. In terms of the symbolism, the Magpie [Xique 喜鹊] in combination with chrysanthemum [Juhua 菊花] symbolizes the Chinese expression “ju jia huan le 举家欢乐”, best translated as “may joy come to the whole family”. Chrysanthemum [菊 ju] in Chinese symbolism is a morpheme with “举 ju”, meaning “whole”. The magpie [Xique 喜鹊] symbolises “happiness” [xi 喜], a synonym of which “huanle 欢乐”. Magpies in any Chinese allegorical combination would denote “coming your way”. Chrysanthemums are symbolic of the 9th month [autumn] and are generally associated with the number 9.
Dimensions 6.25" tall x 2.75" wide at the rim. Base is just shy of 2.5".
Weight: 166 grams

盛昌 (慎昌) 约 1875 年的酒杯，由王兴杯零售，喜鹊和菊花的优雅起伏，茎部有老鼠叶，茎部有葡萄。适合年龄的铜绿。正如您对这个时代的酒杯所期望的那样，轻微的表面划痕。这个直接到了表头。就象征意义而言，喜鹊[Xique 喜鹊]与菊花[Juhua 菊花]相结合，象征着中文表达“举家欢乐”，最好的翻译是“愿欢乐降临全家”。菊花在中国象征意义中是一个词素，带有“举菊”，意思是“整体”。喜鹊[Xique 喜鹊]象征“幸福”[xi 喜]，是“欢乐欢乐”的同义词。任何中国寓言组合中的喜鹊都表示“迎面而来”。菊花象征着九月 [秋天]，通常与数字 9 相关联。
尺寸为 6.25 英寸高 x 2.75 英寸宽。底座略低于 2.5 英寸。
重量：166克
