Rare Luminous Spinach Jade Wine Cups Jinquan in Original Box EVC!

Description

There is a very long history that goes along with these types of wine vessels, so if you have the time, please look it up, it's interesting and gives more of clue as to why these are in existence...This pair of jade wine glasses are in perfect, unused condition in their original box.  There is Chinese characters all over (of which I cannot read) that probably give more detail than I can supply.  I purchased these as vintage, but I have no proof of that and research gives me no clues either.  They are lovely, especially in the sense that they are made of rock and are perfectly formed into dainty
drink ware.  When held up to the light, the mottled green / felt-like composition of the jade is evident and I wouldn't call them particularly luminous (that's part of the legend and the history) but they are lovely and feel really nice in your hand - dainty and continuously cool...
