The form of this jar is unusual in that the globular body stands on a straight, low foot, rather than the sides continuing to taper to a flat base. This foot, the regular form of its globular body, the short, straight neck, and the application of the four, twice-looped, handles on the shoulder link this jar to a larger jar encircled with three relief lines, and with a similar glaze, excavated from a Sui dynasty tomb at Xi'an, Shaanxi province in 1958. The excavated jar is illustrated in Zhongguo wenwu jinghua daquan - Taoci juan, Taipei, 1993, p. 221, no. 150.
