The cup features a deep, rounded bowl form with a slightly flared rim and a short foot, accented with double blue bands at the rim and base. The exterior is painted against a creamy white ground with a lively "autumn harvest" scene: gnarled branches bearing large, ripe pomegranates with exposed pink seeds, surrounded by leafy foliage, small orange blossoms, and delicate buds. The pomegranate is a classic Chinese motif symbolizing fertility and abundant offspring. The reverse side bears a two-character inscription in black calligraphy reading "秋实" (Qiu Shi), which translates to "Autumn Harvest" or "Autumn Fruits," accompanied by two small red seal marks. The base bears a six-character iron-red Qianlong seal mark reading "大清乾隆年製" (Made in the Great Qing Qianlong Period), indicating it is a vintage revival piece in the Qianlong style. A highly decorative and collectible piece for tea enthusiasts.
