A Pair of Chinese White Glazed Porcelain Cups with Anhua Dragon and Phoenix Decoration, Possibly Kangxi Period – This lot comprises a pair of identically shaped Chinese white glazed porcelain cups, each featuring a gently flared rim, a tapering body, and a subtly recessed foot. The porcelain is adorned with *anhua* (secret decoration) beneath the glaze, depicting a finely incised or molded mythical creature, likely a dragon or phoenix, dynamically rendered amidst auspicious clouds and crashing waves. This decorative technique, popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties, is consistent with examples from the Kangxi period.
