A milky white jade cup features a deep, rounded body tapering to a small circular foot. Its translucent, polished surface possesses subtle internal mottling and sparse dark specks. The rim flares slightly, creating a wide opening. Near the base, the stone transitions into muted yellow and earthy brown tones, while delicate, thin lines trace across the vessel's ghostly, frosted exterior, reminiscent of winter ice.
