The cup’s mouth is slightly wide open, with pointed lip, convergent and arc belly, round bottom and a handle. The cup is wholly gilded. Inside of the cup has dumb light, while the outside is decorated by curling vinery, with grapes flying phoenix, reflecting the countryside scenery vividly. The decoration is quite stylish, making the cup a masterpiece of Tang Dynasty.
