What exactly is an ancient Tang dynasty 壺?
doesn’t a google images search of “故宮” + “館藏” + “唐代” + “壺“ suit your need?

it would be something like these:







ok, these three are “執壺” (a 壺 with handle &amp; spout)

update:

the photo provided in the update, is an “imitation” (仿), made in 20th century. imo, it’s “un-han-chinese”, and is more suitable to be classified as “container” (罐).


  want to know the full range of what a 壺 encompasses in the Tang era


well. “壺” is a category name, like “cat”, “cake”.

so, listing all cat breeds, or all different types of cakes, is an enormous task.

have fun :)
