Ancient Flasks: Chinese Bianhu Flasks

Chinese bianhu flasks (Chinese: 扁壺), also known as "flat vases" or "shoulder flasks," are a type of ceramic vessel that originated in ancient China. They were primarily produced during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) and were commonly used for storing and pouring liquids such as wine or oil.

Bianhu flasks are characterized by their flattened oval shape, resembling a pear or a gourd. They have a wide, flat body with sloping shoulders and a narrow neck. The mouth of the flask is typically small and may be fitted with a stopper or a lid. These flasks were often decorated with intricate patterns, motifs, and inscriptions, showcasing the artistic skills of the craftsmen.

One notable feature of bianhu flasks is the presence of lotus-shaped supports on their bases. These supports resemble the petals of a lotus flower and provide stability to the flask when it is placed on a flat surface. The lotus motif is significant in Chinese culture, symbolizing purity, enlightenment, and rebirth.

Bianhu flasks were not only functional vessels but also held cultural and symbolic importance. They were often used as prestigious items for ceremonial purposes and were sometimes buried in tombs as funerary objects.

Today, surviving examples of bianhu flasks provide valuable insights into the art, craftsmanship, and cultural practices of ancient China. They are highly regarded as artistic and historical treasures, representing the creativity and skill of Chinese ceramic artisans during the Tang Dynasty.
