Summary

English:
Duck-Handled Cup. Tang Dynasty, 618 - 906 AD. Gansu Provincial Museum.
The handle of this sancai-glazed cup is shaped like a duck's curving neck and head, whose feathers extend onto the body of the cup. The duck is grooming the fluff of its stomach with its beak. The cup's design may have been inspired by contact with rhytons, those animal-headed Western drinking-cups encountered along the Silk Road. |
