[Rhinoceros Carved Baby Play Guiwen Cup]

Rhinoceros Carved Baby Play Guiwen Cup, clear, 10 cm high, 17.4 cm – 9.9 cm diameter, 5.4 cm – 2.6 cm foot diameter
The mouth of this cup is large, the body is thin, long, flat, and the shape is dignified and generous. The inner and outer walls are polished smooth and smooth, and there are only slight natural concavities in some parts, which are like impressionistic mountains and rocks. There is a osmanthus tree carved in the cup, which is born in the gap of stone, and three children climb on it. The subject matter is not complicated, but the carving takes a lot of effort. One child is the tallest, crouching on the trunk, holding the trunk with one hand and holding the companion below with the other. The child below stood with his back up, his face raised, and he saw his head, his hands raised, and his feet vigorously pushed up. Another child leaned out from the side branches and grabbed the trunk, as if greeting his companion. The three children have different postures, exquisite clothing patterns and vivid characters. The arrangement of its position is about in the shape of pinyin. Although it is different from far and near, it echoes each other. In addition, the branches are skillfully treated, so the effect is different from different angles. The exquisite carving of the cup and the large blank of the cup form a contrast between the real and the virtual, the dynamic and the static.
