Compare with a silver stem cup in similar shape, which is illustrated in Zhongguo jinyin boli falangqi quanji, Shijiazhuang, 2004, vol.2, p.3, fig.7. 杯花口，杯心錘鍱摩羯魚一尾，杯高腳束收，中間凸起一周，花足外撇成喇叭狀，杯身滿飾黃金掐絲葡萄葉紋，葉內嵌寶石已佚，焊金珠紋地。 純金質地掐絲金珠地高腳杯存世極少，為唐代以來受中東工藝影響，或直接為中東工匠製成的作品。類似器型可參考一件唐代銀蔓花草鳥紋高足杯，見《中國金銀玻璃琺瑯器全集·金銀器（二）》，石家莊，2004年，頁3，圖7。 Saleroom noticesPlease note the description for this lot should read 'A GOLD FOLIATE STEM CUP, Tang Dynasty or later'.
