Silver And Gold Crafts, Golden Ou Yonggu Cup

Product details

Golden Ou Yonggu Cup. Width: 11.5cm. Height: 14cm. Weight: Customizable. Introduction: Golden Ou Yonggu Cup is a ceremonial vessel used by Emperor Qianlong in the Ming Kaibi Ceremony at the East Warm Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation during the New Year. "Golden Ou Yonggu" means that the country is stable and the world is peaceful. Qianlong made four Golden Ou Yonggu Cups for himself. The one in the Palace Museum in Beijing is the latest one, which was remade because the previous cup was damaged. The other three are currently in the National Palace Museum in Taipei (one) and the Wallace Collection Museum in London (two). According to the Qing Dynasty's "Neiwufu Huojijian", this cup has "Jin Ou Gu" written in seal script on one side and "Qianjiang Nianzhi" engraved on the other side: the outside is fully engraved with Baoxiang flowers, and there are still some traces of kingfisher feathers in between. The stamens are mainly made of pearls and red and blue sapphires. There is a deformed dragon ear on each side, with a pearl on the dragon head and three feet in the shape of elephant heads. The elephant ears are slightly smaller, with long tusks and a curled nose, and jewels are also inlaid on the forehead and between the eyes.
