懷古堂,紐約Catalogue notePouring vessels of this rare falcon form were made in both bronze and polychrome painted lacquer during the Eastern Zhou dynasty, with only a handful existing today. An early Warring States example of similar form but undecorated sides was excavated in 1983 in Langjia village, Linzi, the ancient city of Qi State, and illustrated in Zhongguo Qingtongqi Quanji [Complete Series on Chinese Bronzes], vol. 9: Eastern Zhou III, Beijing, 1997, pl. 36. Both bronze and lacquer examples were also recovered from the tomb of Zhao Tuo, a high official of the Chu state at Baoshan, Hubei province, whose burial is dated to 316 BC; see Baoshan Chu Mu, Beijing, 1991, vol. 2, figs 11-3, 56-4 and 43-1&2; and line drawings illustrated in vol. 1, figs 122:1, 86 and 87. See also a similar Warring States vessel from the collection of Robert H.
