Comments:Rawson 1992:Both the green glaze and the shape refer self-conciously to an ancient jade form. Such item would have been used on household altars or on desks in scholar’s studies. Although ancient ritual jades and bronzes went out of use for a time after the Han dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), they were revived from the Song period (AD 960-1279), as were ceramics based upon them.
