stem cup
by: peter

The decoration shown in the first two pictures looks like a fake to me, I'm afraid. The painting strokes give a stiff appearance, and there is something that resembles another thing from the early Qing dynasty. The other pictures are insufficient to comment.

Please note, however, that all stems I know as correct don't have a stem shape like these. I would love to know if this type of stem is genuine or not. The color of the blue decoration also appears to be a bit off, both for imported as well as for locally mined pigments.
My personal opinion. Always ask for a second opinion, please.
