This cup and saucer consists of three parts: a round cup, a shallow saucer, and a tall, outward sloping foot. The entire body is covered in a persimmon glaze. The mouths of the cup and saucer are covered in a thin glaze, revealing a faintly white tone. With a beautiful shape, a delicate body, and a moist glaze, this ware serves as an excellent example of a Ding ware cup and saucer set.

Cup and saucer combinations were popular wares during the Song Dynasty due to the prominence of tea culture at the time. In the production of cup and saucer combinations, various different kilns and shapes were used. However, the Ding Yao persimmon-glazed cup and saucer were, regardless of era, truly rare items.
