Stem Cup
A porcelain stem cup with a flared bowl and tall foot, decorated in underglaze blue waves and overglaze red enamel. Red mythical beasts leap across the bowl's waves, while red fish-like forms swim on the stem.
Look closer: A small red fish swims in the waves on the lower stem, near the foot.
