maybe, but which culture's art were you looking at -- from which place and time, and which level of Chinese art did it resemble? Shang, Tang or later?

The ceramic cup I saw at the Epcot center was not identified by Disney in any meaningful way. I saw it 25 years ago, but if I remember correctly the line painting under the glaze resembled painting of figures on silk screens of somewhere between 1500 and 1800 ad, that is why I was so surprised that such "modern" oriental figures would appear on something presumably so much older.
