Gracefully rendered with a delicate side handle, the silhouette of this rare cup exemplifies the creative dialogue of the craftsman with China's historical continuum during the Ming dynasty. See a Tang dynasty gilt-silver cup with a single loop handle excavated from Hejia village, Xi'an, Shaanxi, exhibited in , Shaanxi History Museum, Xi'an, 2003, cat.no.3.
本品造型精巧，側置單柄，其造型反映明代匠人於傳統中融入創新元素。可參考早期金屬器原型，如陝西西安何家村出土一件唐代銀鎏金單把杯，杯身呈八瓣形，展於《花舞大唐春：何家村遺寶精粹》，陝西歷史博物館，西安，2003年，編號3。
