Libation cup; Chinese, Quing Dynasty 1644-1911.Enamelled and polychrome porcelain.It has an inscription on the base. It is in a good state of preservation.Measurements: 18 x 15.5 cm.Cup of libations that presents a foot of round base, with cylindrical structure that supports the body with thin and exvasado lip. The ornamentation is based on figurative scenes, with the presence of a large dragon on the body standing out. This type of piece is of great artistic and decorative value, and originally had a sacred and mythological character. They were made from natural materials of animal origin, as these materials supposedly had the ability to detect the presence of poisons in the liquids poured into the cups, although in this case they are made of porcelain.This is the case with libation cups such as the one presented here, dating from the 18th century, which served as ceremonial vessels for the sprinkling of a ritual drink as an act of offering to the deities. The liquids offered in the libations were varied, normally unmixed wine was used, although milk, honey and even pure water were also often poured into them. The elegant decoration of this piece is faithful to the minimalist taste of Dehua's production, where refinement is aimed at the subtlety of the details. Following this line, in the present Libation cup we find
