Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:’Yuhuchun’ bottles, made to contain alcohol such as rice wine, would have been commonplace among the upper echelons of Yuan society. A similar ‘yuhuchun’ bottle was recovered from a small Yuan hoard in Taishun, Zhejiang province, in south-eastern China. They are also depicted in fourteenth-century wall paintings in burials. A mural in Chifeng shows an assemblage of wine vessels with two ‘jingping’ jars, two yuhuchun bottles, a punch bowl with a ladle and three cups, one of which is in a saucer. A similar group is shown at the Guangsheng Monastery in Shanxi.The ‘yuhuchun’ form develops from one current in the Song era but generally Yuan examples are made on a larger scale. ‘Yuhuchun’ bottles were also made in bronze in the Yuan period, as evidenced by an example recovered from the Sinan shipwreck of 1323.
