Bamboo Flower Holder
Carved in Imitation of
an Ancient Ku Vessel
Ch'ing Dynasty (A.D. 1644-
1911)
Height 18.4cm
The literati were
fond of flower holders
that imitated the shape
of ritual bronzes. Vessel
shapes such as ku, chih,
tsun and lei were
considered the most refined
and elegant. Here the
bamboo has been carved
to resemble an ancient
bronze ku vessel.
