About this work

Cylindrical cup with pierced soul, standing on three flattened, globular feet. The lower edge edged with a wire. Inscribed on the body in calligraphy: Sometimes soup / Sometimes drop. On the bottom: He who is content, with fat and lean, Feasts deliciously, even if it is a modest meal.
