Flask
Date1736-95
Label TextInspired by the mottled effect of the cobalt in early Ming blue and white, this pair of flasks demonstrates the Qing potter’s control of pigment. This type of moon flask, with two loop handles, was sometimes regarded as a pilgrim flask, but served a more decorative purpose during the Qing period.
