It has a narrow foot with a bit of remaining kiln grit which is indicative of provincial wares made at Jingdezhen during this period. It was not intended for export. The tone of the cobalt blue does coincide with late Ming but the shape indicates it may have been made in the early Qing dynasty (c.1644-1670)

The cup with its narrow foot, bit of kiln grit etc. are found most
often on provincially made porcelains from Jingdezhen intended for the
domestic mainland market. The tone of the cobalt can of course hint at a
late Ming perhaps Wanli origin, however the piece overall points to the
later period.

Stands approximately 2 3/4" (6cm) in height with a diameter of approximately 3 3/4" (9.5cm)
Small dot of kiln grit at bottom of kiln bowl interior as well as a speck of kiln grit on outer bowl as is typical of provincial pieces from this period.
