This cup represents the 10th month of the Chinese lunar calendar, which can be identified by the flowering Chinese rose (yuegui).
The inscription reads:
Busui qianzhong jin, dufang yinian hong, which may be translated as 'Unlike the countless blossoms that bloom and then wither, only the rose is perpetually red'.
