Imagine sipping tea from this delicate little cup — wouldn't it feel wonderfully elegant?
This Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) agate cup, now housed at Wuhan Museum in Hubei province, features a warm yellow translucent body shaped like a six-petaled flower. Two plum blossoms decorate the rim and handle, adding a touch of grace and spiritual values.
