The Nine-dragon Fairness Cup

Another cup from the Song Dynasty. A dragon is carved on the inside of the cup and there are eight painted dragons on the outside, hence the name 'nine-dragon cup.' Beneath them is a round tray with a hollow pedestal. When the wine is poured in properly, it will not leak, but if a certain limit is exceeded all the wine will be absorbed into the pedestal.
