Description:
The inverted triangle cup is embossed with broken branches of plum blossom, magnolia and pine trees on the outer wall. A dragon dragon with ganoderma lucidum in its mouth lies on the edge of the cup, and its body extends out of the cup. There is a small dragon dragon on the opposite edge of the cup, looking back at it. The bottom tip of the cup, like two animal feet overlapping, can’t stand up, so it needs to be placed on the three friends of old age wooden seat attached.
