Footnotes

元銅鎏金菊瓣形盞托

Compare with a related dish, Liao dynasty, illustrated in Qidan wangchao: Neimenggu Liaodai wenwu jinghua (The Dynasty of Khitan: Selected Cultural Relics of Liao Dynasty Unearthed in Inner Mongolia), Beijing, 2002, p.190.

A wine cup was usually served on a cup stand, jiutai酒臺 during the Song and Yuan dynasties. By the Ming dynasty it appears that cup stands were shorter in height; for a related discussion, see Z.S.Yang, Shehua zhise: Song Yuan Ming jinyinqi yanjiu (The Study of Gold and Silver Wares of Song, Yuan Ming Dynasties), Beijing, 2011, vol.3, pp.6-37.

盞托八出菊花口，折沿，沿圓唇，沿壁鏨刻卷草紋一周，腹部分兩層，收於外撇短圈足，圈足壁鏨刻蓮紋一周，內地起矮墻承杯，除足圈內裡及內墻裡面，其餘皆鎏金。

此盞托高度介乎臺盞與盤盞之間，宋代之盞臺較高，越晚則越矮，至明代幾乎不見高盞台，而清一色多為盞盤矣，揚之水對於此類器皿有詳細介紹，見《奢華之色：宋元明金銀器研究》，北京，2011年，卷3，頁6-37。

與本件形制類似者可比較一件內蒙古出土之遼代銀鎏金纏枝卷草紋盤，見《契丹王朝-內蒙古代文物精華》，北京，2002年，頁190。
