The current cup is representative of the 7th month of the Chinese lunar calendar, identified by the flowers used in its decoration.
The inscription reads:
Guangdian qingxiang fa, gaotai yuan chuiyin, which may be translated as 'The subtle perfume of orchids pervades the great hall as music plays on the lofty terraces'.
