Han Dynasty Silvered Green Glazed Ear Cup Han Dynasty/206BCE-220CE

This is a green-glazed teacup from the Han dynasty (202BC-220AD). During the Han dynasty, full-scale celadon appeared for the first time in the history of Chinese ceramics, and various changes in technique and form were seen, such as ash-glazed pottery and lead-glazed pottery. This double-eared shape was designed to prevent direct contact with the edges of the vessel, and was used in formal occasions such as festivals. The green glaze of this piece has a naturally silvered appearance that has formed over time, giving it a very tasteful appearance. This silvered appearance is said to have occurred over hundreds of years, and forms a unique landscape. In addition, there was no leakage even when filled with water for about an hour. It can also be used in modern spaces, such as decorating with wild plants.
