PROVENANCE
Acquired in Japan in 1993

Ewers of this type were first made in the Yue kilns during the
mid-Tang period, and functioned as wine vessels. An almost
identical example is in the collection of Shanghai Museum,
currently on display at the museum. Another similar Yue ewer
but of smaller size (14.3 cm. high) and of slightly stouter form, is
in the collection of the Palace Museum, illustrated in Zhongguo
meishu quanji – taoci (zhong), Shanghai, 1988, pl. 63 (fig. 1).
