The wave pattern on the present vase is typical
in the Yuan dynasty. Compare with a bronze
vase, excavated from a shipwreck off the coast
of Sinan, South Korea, decorated with a similar
wave pattern, which is illustrated by the National
Museum of Korea, Discoveries From The Sinan
Shipwreck, Seoul, 2016, p.30.
壺口方唇，兩側鑄小貫耳，上飾蕉葉紋，壺頸下
段飾水波紋，肩部光素，扁圓鼓腹，其上飾回紋
錦地，圈足外撇，足圈飾回紋錦地一周。
此壺小巧可愛，應是置於桌面之器。此器紋飾不
同於常見鏨刻紋飾，而是一體鑄造而成，線條
清晰流暢，鑄工一流。所飾水波紋為元代典型裝
飾，韓國新安沉船出水數件元代銅壺飾有類似水
波紋，見韓國國家博物館編，《從新安沈船尋見
的寶物》，首爾，2016年，頁30。
