Perhaps the Southern Song court commissioned it based on a metalwork vessel, for which straight edges and an angular profile would appear to be a more natural shape than for a ceramic. The use of the basin is unclear. Possibly it was made for the emperor as a stand for a six-sided guan ware flowerpot with drilled drainage holes in the base and filled with soil to grow plants in. Alternatively it may have been used directly for growing bulbs.Stoneware with celadon glazeGuan ware官窯Hangzhou, Zhejiang province 浙江省，杭州市Southern Song dynasty, AD1127–1279 PDF 6六方六足盆此深腹六方六足盆之器形在這一時期的中國陶瓷存世品中極為罕見。南宋宮廷燒造此器可能以某種金屬器皿為本，因其平直的口沿及折腹造型顯然並非瓷器所有。此盆用途不明。可能是在宮中用作官窯六方花盆的盆托，花盆底開有排水孔，內填土以栽種植物。或者本件盆托也可能是直接用來栽植水仙。炻器，青釉官窯浙江省杭州市南宋，1127-1279年
