Set of 4 Vintage Hand-Painted Hong Kong Porcelain Footed Lotus Cups

2 1/2" x 2"

This set of mid-century Hong Kong export porcelain captures the delicate art of hand-painted polychrome enamel work with a charming, architectural silhouette. Rendered on a crisp white glaze, each footed cup features freehand enamel artwork depicting blooming lotus blossoms, floating lily pads, and trailing floral sprays in rich rose, cobalt, sage green, and ochre tones. The graceful chalice form tapers into a flared pedestal base—adorned with hand-drawn botanical flourishes—and is finished with a fine gilt rim along the lip. Dating to circa 1960s–1970s and stamped with the red export mark on the underside. These pieces remain free of any chips, exhibiting light, age-appropriate wear to the hand-painted decoration and gilding that underscores their authentic vintage character. Their petite scale and elevated footed profile offer exceptional styling versatility for modern entertaining and display, serving beautifully as sophisticated egg cups, artisanal shot glasses, tasting stems for sake or aperitifs, or grouped together on a tray as an eye-catching decorative accent.
