The result of Oxford Thermoluminescence test, 766e1, indicates that the vessel was last fired between 500-900 years ago, but this would be a very early date for Annamese blue and white; Cf. a similar smaller figure from this early period illustrated in Vietnamese Ceramics, Southeast Asian Ceramic Society, Catalogue, 1982, p.118, pl.118, which is interestingly parallel with Zoomorphic pouring vessels, p.118, pl.117 and 119.
