注脚
宋/元 龍泉青釉雙耳瓶The potters at the Longquan kilns in the Southern Song dynasty began to embellish vases by adding decorative handles on either side of the columnar neck. Most commonly seen are the phoenix handles on mallet-shaped vases. Much rarer, it seems are Longquan pear-shaped vases, yuhuchunping, with the type of 'water caltrop' handles seen on the current vessel. This example may be unique. Others with the more common dragon-head handles or even upright cylinders (arrow vases) prevailed. For a Southern Song dynasty arrow vase of pear shape, see Bonhams, New York, 21 July 2020, lot 145; an example with dragon-mask handles sold at Sotheby's, London, 7 November 2018, lot 60; and a bottle vase with dragon-fish handles sold at Christie's New York, 20-21 March 2014 lot 2103.
