拍品描述 翻译
Far East, China, Han Dynasty, ca. 206 BCE to 220 CE. An elegant, pear shaped vessel with a body that swells to create an almost spherical belly that resolves to a gracefully contracting neck, all above a flared circular base. This vessel would have been used for the storage and transport of sumptuous wines, as during the Han Dynasty, the tradition of casting bronze vessels for use in ritual libation ceremonies continued and flourished. The shapes of such precious vessels were subject to many stylistic restrictions and guidelines.

The iconographic program of this piece comes to life with two Tao Tieh masks that are affixed with ring handles on opposite sides of the body. These stylized animals represent a type of dragon from Chinese mythology. Their abstracted visages reflect the influence of previous eras such as those of the Zhou Dynasty. Further adorning the vessel are circumferential bands at midline, junction of body and neck, rim, and base. The vessel is blessed with its original lid which is rare and, quite simply, extremely good luck. An attractive green patina adds brilliant color and texture to the vessel.

Only a wealthy merchant or member of court could afford the luxury of such a fine vessel. This piece was ultimately placed in a tomb as a symbol for the bountiful pleasures of life, drinking and feasting, to be experienced in the afterlife. A rare fabulous piece! Size: vessel measures 13.5" H (34.3 cm); lid measures 4/75" (12.1 cm) in diameter
