Description:
|
Cup-holders are used to hold tea bowls. When Song people drank tea, they put tea powder in a bowl and then poured boiling water over it. Normally, the thin-walled bowls are too hot to be held, so they are conveniently put on a cup-holder, which is made of lacquer, wood, or metal. The borders of the ring and the saucer are decorated with simple, stylized grass, whereas the wall of the ring and the interior of the saucer are decorated with lotus pattern.
