拍品专文


The imagery on this bottle of an eagle (ying) and bear (xiong) together form the rebus 'hero' (yingxiong) thus making this bottle an appropriate gift to a member of the military. The topic is discussed by T. Bartholomew in Hidden Meanings in Chinese Art, Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, 2006, p. 126.
