An excavated ewer very similar to the current vessel in the collection of the Yaozhou-ware Museum was included in the exhibition, The Masterpieces of Yaozhou Ware, Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka, 1997, p. 56, no. 73. The only significant difference between the two is that the excavated vessel has two sprig-molded vertical elements - one placed on either side of the neck - in a manner reminiscent of the 10th century Yue-ware ewer in the Falk Collection, sold in these rooms, 20 September 2001, lot 34.

The result of Oxford Authentication Ltd. thermoluminescence test number P108u83 is consistent with the dating of this lot.
