Porcelain Chicken Cup Replica of Ming Dynasty Chenghua Mark
This is a high quality replica of one of the most famous Chinese porcelain antique art works from Ming Chengdu era from 1465 to 1487. The cup features a rooster and hen tending to their young chicks. There are two groups of pictures on each side of the cup. One shows a hen fighting with a worm with one of her young excited chicks cheering her on while the others are playing around. The other painting shows the hen and her three young chicks catching the worm, while the cock crows proudly.
The cup is 3.5” in diameter, 1.5” tall. Each piece is purely hand painted, so each pattern on the cup is slightly different.
Just for the record, a 500-year-old antique chicken cup was sold for $36.3 million at 2014 Sotheby’s auction in Hong Kong.
