Lot Essay


The shape and design of this ewer is based on Warring States prototypes, such as the ewer illustrated in Zhongguo meishu quanji - Gongyi meishu bian - 5 - Qingtongqi (xia), Beijing, 1986, p. 52, no. 7. This bronze vessel is also set on four legs with an animal-form spout. Compare, also, a Warring States circular vessel with similarly-elaborate silver inlay and a cover that is also set with bird-form finials, illustrated ibid., p. 118, no. 136.
