Compare a very similarly carved cinnabar lacquer bowl and cover described as a spitton, in the Shenyang Palace Museum, illustrated by Robert L. Thorpe in Son of Heaven, Imperial Arts of China, p.96, pl. 28. For another similar bowl and cover, see Daily Life in the Forbidden City, Harmondsworth, 1988, pl. 219, where the bowl can be seen in an interior shot of one of the Imperial studios.
