This late Joseon cup used to hold writing brushes is decorated with an age-old Chinese motif, plum blossoms and bamboo, here rendered in cobalt blue. Together with the pine tree, evergreen bamboo and winter-blooming plum represent hardy plants that are symbolic of the Confucian ideal of the resilient scholar.
