The exquisite craftsmanship of this cup in the form of an open lotus leaf is truly awe-inspiring. Delicately carved and adorned with water weeds, grasses, and lotus buds and stalks, it epitomizes the beauty of nature.

Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Asian collection gallery, this historic piece offers a glimpse into ancient Chinese culture.
