A stem cup raised on a tall foot, the foot with a slightly thickened rim and a further moulded swelling at the centre of the stem, supporting the rounded-sided cup above. The vessel is decorated in underglaze cobalt blue with floral scrolls, while the stem is painted with stylised pendent leaf motifs. The interior is painted with a peach spray.

The stem cup (gaozu bei, 高足杯), also known as a “horseback cup” (mashang bei, 马上杯), first appeared during the Yuan dynasty. Its slender, elongated stem, often resembling a bamboo node, and its association with drinking wine on horseback, reflect its connection with Mongol culture. The form continued to be produced during the Ming and Qing dynasties, though with significant modifications in shape and proportion.

杯呈撇口，弧腹，下承細長高足，足端略為加厚，足莖中部另凸起一節。杯身以青花繪纏枝花卉，高足環飾下垂葉紋，杯心繪折枝壽桃。

高足杯又稱「馬上杯」，始見於元代。其細長足莖常作竹節狀，傳統上被認為與蒙古族騎馬飲酒的生活習俗有關。此器形延續燒製至明清時期，惟各時期在造型與比例上均有所變化。
