Note:
The ear cup first emerged in lacquer form during the late Spring and Autumn period (5th century BC), characterized by its rectangular handles or "ears." During the Han dynasty, glazed pottery versions were created primarily as burial items, intended to imitate the lacquerware used at banquets of the time.
耳杯最早于春秋晚期(公元前5世纪)以漆器形式出现,其特点是带有矩形把手或“耳朵”。汉代时,出现了釉陶耳杯,主要作为随葬品,用以模仿当时宴会所用的漆器。
