About the Item
The ovoid shape suggests the influence from “amphora” of Greece and Rome, while the dragon-shaped handles allude to Persian and Central Asian metalwork. The ubiquitous dragon is a East Asian addition to this type of vessel.
A pair of double-strap 'dragon' handles applied with bosses that rise from the rounded shoulder and terminate in a dragon head biting the rim, and is covered with a finely crackled straw glaze.

* Tang Amphora
This Tang Pottery amphora was made at a time when China was particularly influenced by metal-work and textiles, as well as other exotic objects from Central Asia, ultimately Hellenistic and Iranian. These objects were carried on the Silk Road to China and became very fashionable with the newly wealthy classes. So it is not surprising that this Tang cup is based on Central Asian metal-work.
