EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Double-Handled Cup with Handles in the Form of Chi (Hornless) Dragons, dating back to the 13th century. Created by an unknown artist during either the Southern Song or Yuan dynasty, this antique ceramic piece is a true testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient China. The cup's design features two intricately molded and applied handles in the shape of mythical creatures known as Chi dragons. These hornless beasts, steeped in Chinese mythology, symbolize power and good fortune. The delicate qingbai ware porcelain used for this cup adds elegance and grace to its overall appearance. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Asian Collection gallery, this artifact represents not only China's rich cultural heritage but also serves as a reminder of Asia's artistic contributions throughout history. Its vibrant colors and decorative elements make it a standout exhibit within the museum.

This double-handled cup stands as evidence of their dedication to both form and function. With its timeless beauty and historical significance, this Double-Handled Cup with Handles in the Form of Chi Dragons continues to captivate viewers today, serving as a tangible link between past civilizations and our present appreciation for fine craftsmanship.
