Item Details
Description
A Chinese amphora-shaped vase, early Tang Dynasty (7th-8th century), of tapered form with high dragon-head handles, with a streaked straw yellow-green glaze over an off-white body, 45cms high The long and complicated history of the shape illustrates the wide-ranging influences found in Chinese art in the seventh and eighth centuries, when China was the centre of a trading network that stretched from the Mediterranean to Korea and Japan. The ovoid shape suggests the 'amphora' of Greece and Rome, while the animal-shaped handles allude to Persian and Central Asian metalwork. The ubiquitous dragon is a Chinese addition to this type of storage vessel. -1唐早期 青釉壶 Provenance: Property from the estate of the late H. D. Salmon Esq. -1拍品来源: H. D. Salmon Esq家族私藏 -1
