The form is elegantly shaped with a gently flared rim, rounded body, and a neatly finished foot, creating a graceful and balanced silhouette. The interior is covered with a smooth white glaze, while the exterior is coated in a rich rouge red glaze with a delicate rose-pink tone. The surface is even, luminous, and carefully fired, showing the exceptional technical control achieved by the Qing imperial kilns. The base bears the six-character blue-and-white Yongzheng imperial mark within a double square frame, executed with precise and steady brushwork. Rouge red glaze was among the most challenging low-temperature colors produced in the Qing court workshops, requiring exceptional firing skill and resulting in limited production. With its fine white porcelain body, flawless glaze, and elegant imperial appearance, this cup is an outstanding example of Yongzheng monochrome imperial porcelain.
