A tall cup with colorful lotus patterns, Chenghua, Ming Dynasty, height 7.2 cm, diameter 6.7 cm, and foot diameter 3.4 cm.
The mouth of the cup is slightly tilted, the belly is deeply curved, the bottom is thin, and the bottom is supported by high hollow feet. There is one blue and white string pattern near the mouth on the inside and outside, and two blue and white string patterns near the foot. The outer wall of the cup is decorated with colorful decorations. Four groups of lotus patterns are evenly distributed on the abdomen, and there are deformed mosaic and leaf patterns that are symmetrical above and below. On the inside of the foot is a six-character horizontal inscription "Chenghua Year System of the Ming Dynasty" in blue and white regular script.
The decoration of this cup uses outline and flat painting, with uniform color and slight convexity. It is full of realism and has distinctive characteristics of the times. The Palace Museum collects several pieces of Chenghua doucai goblets, all of which are beautifully made and have novel patterns. In addition to the group lotus pattern, there are also paintings of entwined lotuses, flowers and birds.
The fetus of Mingcheng Hua Doucai is white and delicate, thin and light. Its glaze color is milky white and soft, which can bring out the bright and elegant Doucai. It has rich colors. The blue and white are elegant and transparent, and the overglaze colors include more than ten kinds of red, yellow, green and purple. The color preparation is flexible and easy.

This text sounds like the one used by some auction houses and seller etc. for drawing the attention of potential buyers.
You can NOT rely on this. Nor would it be possible to tell anything about this item with this sort of pictures.
This is deception, in my view, meant to induce unknowing buyers to buy something. At this quality level 99.9% of Chinese porcelain may be fakes.
