The stone with natural fissures, some of which have developed into thin hairline cracks. Weight: 166.4 gDimensions: Length 12.4 cmThis ear-shaped cup belongs to a type that was widespread in the Han period. These vessels were inspired by the pottery and lacquered wooden bowls common between the 5th century BC and the 3rd century AD, see an example dated to the Warring States period in the Tokyo National Museum, accession number TJ-5664. The bear functioning as the handle is exceptionally unusual; to date, no comparable example has been documented.This type of vessel was highly prized and costly. Contemporary writings advised that everyday utensils should not be used in funerary rites, which is why many burial goods were crafted as imitations of the objects once used by the deceased. Such pieces adorned the tombs of the aristocracy. This cup is an excellent example—not only for its refined workmanship, but also for its use of jade, a material reserved for the wealthiest families.Literature comparison:Compare a related double-eared jade cup, dated Han dynasty, 9.9 cm long, in the National Palace Museum, Taiwan, accession number 故玉005587N000000000.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's Hong Kong, 31 May 2017, lot 2740Price: HKD 1,187,500 or approx.
