Royal Stem Cups

 The delicate stem cup form was a new shape derived from the Mongolian taste of the rulers of China during those times, and became established in the potter's repertoire of later periods. Intended as a wine cup, it originated as wine making developed in China. Chinese Stem Cups were typically used on special occasions and by high profile individuals such as emperors and empresses. The Royal Stem Cups come in a pair; with one cup representing the Emperor and the other, his Empress.
