EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Food Steamer Xian, a testament to the culinary advancements of ancient China. Dating back to approximately 1000 BC during the late Shang dynasty, this bronze masterpiece provides a glimpse into the sophisticated cooking techniques of that era. Measuring an impressive 39.4 x 26.7 x 24.8 cm, this steamer exemplifies exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. Its intricate design reflects the fusion of artistry and functionality that defined Chinese culture during this period. The Anyang phase from 1250-1046 BC marked a significant transition in Chinese history, as it was during this time that advanced civilizations flourished in regions like Xian. This food steamer is believed to have been used extensively throughout these periods until early Western Zhou dynasty (1046-771 BC). Bronze was chosen as the material for its construction due to its durability and heat conductivity properties, ensuring efficient cooking processes. The overall size of this artifact emphasizes its importance in ancient Chinese cuisine. Preserved with utmost care by Liszt Collection, this print invites us on a journey through time, allowing us to appreciate not only the technical prowess but also the cultural significance attached to such innovations in culinary technology from over three millennia ago.
