Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:This type of decoration may be seen on blue-and-white and underglaze red porcelains from Jingdezhen dating to the Hongwu era, such as a blue-and-white cup stand excavated at Dongmentou, Zhushan, Jingdezhen, in 1994. Cup stands of this type were made to serve wine. They support a small straight-sided cup with a slightly recessed base cut with a narrow foot. Such cups have now also been excavated in the Hongwu stratum at Dongmentou, Zhushan, Jingdezhen, decorated in underglaze blue.
