A blue and white moon flask ‘Bianhu’ Guangxu (1875-1908) The flattened circular body on a tall foot and painted on each side with a medallion of two ferocious dragons amongst clouds and flames confronting over a ‘flaming pearl’ all within a stylised lotus scroll continued on the cylindrical neck flanked by a pair of stylised handles in the form of pine branches, 31cm. Porcelain moon flasks were first made in China during the early Ming dynasty (1368-1644). The Chinese would have been familiar with Persian and Central Asian metalwork traded along the silk road since the Tang dynasty (618-906) and regularly introduced these shapes into their porcelain production. The manufacture of a porcelain moon flask would have involved overcoming technical difficulties such as making separate sections, joining them together and firing.
