Provenance: Private Collection, New York, USADescription: This pair of Liao Dynasty yellow-glazed chicken-head ewers represents one of the most recognizable ceramic forms from the Khitan Liao period. Often referred to as “stirrup ewers,” this vessel type was inspired by leather containers traditionally used by northern nomadic cultures and was designed for practical use while traveling. Each ewer features an elongated oval body, a raised arched handle, and a short upright neck, creating a balanced and elegant silhouette. Covered in a warm yellow-brown glaze, the vessels display the distinctive character of Liao ceramic craftsmanship, combining northern nomadic traditions with Chinese ceramic techniques. Pieces of this type are highly valued by museums and collectors for their historical significance and their connection to Liao aristocratic life and cultural exchange across northern China.
