This pair of rounded cups features carved black hardstone bodies decorated with organic gold-leaf or gilt droplet patterns resembling leopard spots or splashes. Each cup is mounted with an intricately cast, ornate gilt-bronze dragon handle and scrolling foot base that wraps beneath the body.
These luxury decorative vessels were produced in China during the Mid 20th to 21st century, drawing inspiration from classical imperial forms and mythical dragon motifs. Combining stone carving traditions such as black jade or nephrite with elaborate metal mountings, such wares are crafted as decorative display art or prestige gifts. They appeal strongly to collectors of contemporary Asian decorative arts and fantasy-inspired luxury barware.
An excellent wedding gift,
