Qing Dynasty period. The cup is of irregular form, the uneven surface carved in high relief with prunus trees, pavilions, and figures in a landscape setting, interior lacquered black. The wood is of mottled dark-brown tones, with characteristic aroma.


此杯沈香木所雕,色如蒸栗,古韻盎然,將刻竹之法移用於刻木。外壁施以深浮雕作幽靜的山谷,山巒起伏,林木蒼翠,茅亭掩映,頗有“山中無歷日,寒居不知年”的文人幽居境界,令人神思向往。運刀古拙,刻工精湛,層次豐富,顯出自然幽邃的藝術格調。
