TWO GLAZED FLASKS
Liao Dynasty
One of ovoid form, the angled shoulder applied with a grooved strap handle set opposite a curved spout, all below a cup-shaped mouth surmounting the narrow, ribbed neck, covered in a rich leaf-green glaze now degraded in areas to an attractive silvery iridescence; the other inspired by a wineskin prototype, the full body raised on a low foot ring, the lower body encircled by a narrow, raised band joined to the spout and handle by two similar bands imitating the seams, covered all over with an even, greenish-brown glaze suffused with fine whitish speckling stopping unevenly above the foot to expose the grayish-white body burned pale orange in the firing
10 and 10in. (27.3 and 26.cm.) high (2)
