Provenance:
Parry Collection, London, and thence by descent
來源：
倫敦Parry家族收藏，並由後人保存迄今
Well proportioned and smoothly polished to a lustrous sheen, white jade cups such as the present example highlight the flawless quality of translucent stone and the purity of the material. They allow the beholder to revel in the natural beauty of the stone and the elegant pure form of the cup.
See a pair of similar white jade cups, Qianlong, in Manchester Art Gallery, acc.nos.1934.36-37. Compare also a related white jade wine cup, Qianlong mark and period, illustrated in Virtuous Treasures: Chinese Jades for the Scholar's Table, Hong Kong, 2008, p.76, no.26.
Compare with a similar pair of white jade cups, of the same size and form, which was sold at Christie's New York, 17 March 2017, lot 1102.
白玉整挖而成，直口直壁，至腹部下方處下斂至圈足。器身線型圓潤，光素無紋，彰顯玉材自身之清素雅緻。
曼徹斯特美術館館藏相似乾隆白玉盃一對，藏品編號1934.36-37。另見一例清乾隆白玉盃，收錄於《閣有天珍：中國文房玉雕》，香港，2008年，頁76，編號26。
紐約佳士得曾售一對白玉盃，2017年3月17日，拍品編號1102，形制大小皆似本例，可為比對。
