Original introduction:

Ming Dynasty imperial porcelain
Now in the collection of the Palace Museum in Beijing.

For thousands of years, dragons and phoenixes have permeated all aspects of Chinese society and become a kind of cultural cohesion and accumulation. Dragons and phoenixes have become a symbol of China, the Chinese nation, and Chinese culture. The picture shows a dragon and phoenix pattern bottle, with a gray body and a flat bottom, a plate mouth, two round flowers on the plate mouth, two dragons on the shoulder mouth, and open ears, forming a double handle. The dragon body is poked with flowers and convex dots, and the dragon horns are coiled. The whole body is glazed with glass glaze, the color is slightly bluish-white, and glaze is applied near the lower abdomen. The body is firm and dense, which is a typical Gongxian kiln product. The same shape of dragon and phoenix bottles is common, but there are very few large decals, which are famous products of this type of utensils.

The bronze double-ear phoenix bottle was used to hold wine or water in ancient times. Its origin can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties. During this period, bronze ware became a combination of ritual and practical utensils. Craftsmen combined superb casting technology with outstanding artistic talent to create many exquisite bronzes, among which the bronze double-ear phoenix bottle is one of the representatives.

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, bronze two-ear phoenix bottles were widely used in important occasions such as sacrifices and banquets. It was regarded as a symbolic object, representing power and status. At the same time, it was also part of social life at the time and was used in daily life scenes such as holding wine and water. With the passage of time, the design and craftsmanship of bronze two-ear phoenix bottles have also been constantly developing and changing. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with the collapse of the ritual system and the rise of practical utensils, bronze two-ear phoenix bottles gradually lost their original ritual significance and were more regarded as a work of art and practical utensils. The craftsmen of this period paid more attention to the appearance design and craftsmanship of the bottle, which made the bronze two-ear phoenix bottle reach a new height in this period. After the Han Dynasty, with the development and popularization of porcelain, bronze ware gradually withdrew from the stage of history. Today, bronze two-ear phoenix bottles have become a symbol representing ancient Chinese culture.
