Chinese wine sets Ⅱ: Nine-Dragon Cup

 
The Nine-Dragon Cup appeared in the Qing Dynasty as a wine vessel, in which nine coiled dragons are carved with their tails entwisted. Under the cup there are pinholes connected to the nine tails, which will be full of wine when the cup is filled up. In case the cup is overfilled, the excessive wine will naturally run down. The wonderful design can ensure temperate drinking, demonstrate the spirit of Chinese wine culture, as well as represent the golden mean of traditional Chinese culture.
