This type of black earthenware amphora was produced from the Warring States period and throughout the Han dynasty. The surface of the vessel has been shaped with tools and then burnished. This process of manufacture gives the jar its attractively rugged, yet carefully detailed and distinctive characteristics. The surface of the body is an amalgamation of complex curves with various convex and concave shapes. As noted by Regina Krahl in Yuegutang, A Collection of Chinese Ceramics in Berlin, 2000, page 55, amphorae of this distinct type are characteristic products of the Western Sichuan province where they were made by non-Chinese peoples. Hence, this type of vessel is known as Lifan, named after the area of Sichuan province in the far west of China, in which such jars have been found.
There are obvious stylistic similarities between these Lifan vessels and objects from much earlier periods such as the Neolithic cultures of Machang (c. 3000-2000 BC) and Xindian (c. 1500-1000 BC). Similar black ware food containers with two handles have also been unearthed in Dena County, Yunan, an area that was the home of the southwestern Yi tribe during the Spring and Autumn period.

漢代黑陶嵌銅泡釘雙耳壺
中國，西元前206 至西元220年。縮頸，壺口外撇，鼓腹，寬大的雙耳從壺口延伸到腹部。壺上鑲嵌泡釘。
來源：法國古玩交易。
品相：狀況良好，有磨損和鑄造缺陷，大面積小刻痕，泡釘上有藍綠色結殼，還有一些缺損和劃痕。
重量：1,144 克
尺寸：高 18.2 釐米
這種黑陶雙耳壺從戰國到整個漢代都有生產。據推測，這些器皿上的泡釘，是在這個時代的巔峰時期製造的，例如漢朝上半葉。 正如 Regina Krahl 在《悅古堂-柏林中國陶瓷收藏》，2000 年，第 55 頁所指出的，這種獨特類型的雙耳瓶是四川西部省份的特有創作，以中國最西部的四川省地區命名。
這些器皿與更早時期的器物在風格上有明顯的相似之處，例如馬廠（約西元前 3000-2000 年）和新店（約西元前 1500-1000 年）的新石器時代文化，春秋時期西南彝族聚居地雲南德納縣也曾出土過類似的雙柄黑瓷食器。
