拍品專文

A small number of these 'toper' (archaic English for drunkard) flasks are known, all modeled after European faience fashionable in the mid-18th century. An example in the Mottahedeh Collection was illustrated by Howard & Ayers (op cit, p. 620); another is in the Victoria and Albert Museum (illustrated by Jourdain & Jenyns, Chinese Export Art, no. 73).
