The shape of the present vase is based on early Han dynasty bronzes. A nearly identical small yellow jade fanghu-shaped vessel of comparable height (11 cm.) is in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Zhongguo yuqi quanji, vol. 6, Shijiazhuang, 1993, no. 200, and again in Yang Boda (ed.), Chinese Jades throughout the Ages - Connoisseurship of Chinese Jades, vol. 12, Hong Kong, 1997, no. 41. Compare, also, to a white jade fanghu with elephant-head handles of similar height (10.7 cm.) in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, exhibited at The Refined Taste of the Emperor: Special Exhibition of Archaic and Pictorial Jades of the Ch'ing Court, and illustrated in the exhibition catalogue, pp. 87-88, no. 15.
