Zhou Han Dynasty Beast-mouth Silver Pot
Zhou Han Dynasty Beast-mouth Silver Pot
Zhou Han Dynasty Beast-mouth Silver Pot
Made by Hong Jike, inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of silver forging techniques at Dayatang. Capacity: Approximately 1000 ml. Weight: Approximately 556 grams.
This animal mouth design originates from Western Zhou bronzes.
The body of the pot is engraved with a phoenix pattern along the center line, with a meander pattern as the background.
The phoenix motif is one of the decorative patterns on ancient bronze ware. The divine phoenix is a very traditional Chinese motif. In mythology, it is the king of birds, the most beautiful of all feathered creatures, and is followed by hundreds of other birds when it flies, thus revered as the king of birds. In the minds of the ancients, the phoenix was an auspicious bird. It was prevalent from the Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty.
The Shuowen Jiezi (a dictionary of Chinese characters) states: "The phoenix is a divine bird. Tian Lao said: 'The phoenix has the appearance of a swan in front and a deer behind, a snake's neck and a fish's tail, cheekbones and forehead like a mandarin duck, dragon patterns on its back, a tortoise's back, a swallow's jaw and a chicken's beak, and all five colors are present. It comes from the land of virtuous gentlemen in the east, soars beyond the four seas, passes Kunlun, drinks from the Dipu River, washes its feathers in the Ruoshui River, and never rests in the Fengxue Cave. When it is seen, the world is at peace.'"
This teapot has an antique design, with a jade-green spout and an old vine-woven handle; it is an elegant object for the tea room.
The animal mouth design originated from bronzes of the Zhou and Han dynasties and is the most traditional Chinese pattern. It was also copied by the Japanese metalwork master Zōroku and applied to tea utensils.
The body of the teapot features a bird motif against a background of a fretwork pattern. Bird motifs have been used to decorate objects since ancient times. This teapot boasts an antique charm, with a pure jade handle and a woven rattan handle. It is majestic and imposing. A masterpiece by Hong Jike, handcrafted by Dayatang.
