This elegant porcelain is a fine example of the technical and decorative excellence of Ming dynasty blue-and-white wares. The flat-sided flask is known in bronze vessels dating to the sixth century BC in China, but the particular form of this vessel, with its angled, tubular neck and loop handles, is based on Islamic metal prototypes. The flask was constructed from several pieces of molded clay that were joined before firing. The density of the design is characteristic of early fifteenth-century products of the Yongle (1403-24) or Xuande (1426-35) eras of the early Ming dynasty.
