A VERY RARE SMALL TRANSLUCENT BLUE GLASS RELIQUARY BOTTLE

TANG DYNASTY (618-907)

細節

唐藍玻璃舍利壺

壺小口，直頸，扁圓腹。通體藍玻璃，半透明，光素無紋飾。肩下飾一小鈕，穿孔，可能原連有瓶塞。

此器造型規整，質地輕脆，具伊斯蘭風格，為十分難得的玻璃珍品。

玻璃舍利瓶是唐代玻璃的代表作，出土實物也不少，甘肅涇川舍利塔基下出土了類似的玻璃舍利瓶。因隋唐與東西各國有通貢和貿易，通過絲綢之路進口了不少玻璃器供帝后權貴使用，包括了精美的伊斯蘭玻璃器皿。

此器1993年6月7日於倫敦佳士得拍賣，拍品98號；曾為Eskenazi收藏；1995年於三藩市亞洲藝術博物館舉辦之《A Chorus of Colors - Chinese Glass from Three American Collections》展出，並著錄於展覽目錄圖版9號。

This small vessel would have had another tiny lug handle similarly attached through heating to the opposite shoulder. The exact use of small glass vessels of this type is unknown, but they may have been associated with Buddhist functions, perhaps as reliquaries.
