拍品專文

The goblet shape of this stem cup appears to be very rare. Another cup of this shape with similar decoration in the Yamato Bunkakan, Nara, Japan, is illustrated by Qi Dongfang, Tangdai jin yin qi yan jiu (Research on Tang gold and silver), Beijing, 1999, pl. 2, and again in a line drawing, p. 41, fig. 1-54. The flowers and leaves appear similar to those on the present cup, and one can see in pl. 2 that there are birds in flight amidst the scrolling vine, however they are chased or engraved and not ring-punched as they are on the present cup.
