This Chinese liquor cup was produced during the reign of the Tongzhi Emperor (1862–1874) of the Qing dynasty in China. The exterior is decorated in famille rose enamels over a warm orange ground, featuring auspicious motifs such as flowering branches, pomegranates, and ceremonial vessels, all finely outlined and painted in soft yet vivid colors. The design includes symbolic elements representing prosperity, longevity, and harmony, reflecting the decorative traditions of the late Qing imperial kilns. The base bears a neatly applied six-character Tongzhi mark in iron-red within a square frame, signifying its association with the imperial court. The cup exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and vibrant polychrome palette characteristic of famille rose porcelain from this era.
