Vases of this form, called xianwenping ('string pattern vase'), are potted with two different types of mouth rim, either a wide dish-shaped mouth or a slighted inverted galleried rim. The present vase falls into the latter category. Compare with a vase in the Nezu Museum in Tokyo illustrated in Sekai toji zenshu, vol. 12, Tokyo, 1977, no. 81, and another in the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art in London published in Margaret Medley's Illustrated Catalogue of Celadon Wares, London, 1977, pl. V, no. 50.
These two types of mouth rims were contemporaneous, as evidenced by the finds from a Southern Song hoard excavated at Jinyucun, Suining City, Sichuan province in 1991, and from Longquan kilns sites. Vases from the former site are published in Newly Discovered Southern Song Ceramics - A Thirteenth-Century "Time Capsule", Japan, 1998, pp. 14-16, nos. 2-4, and from the latter in Longquan Qingci Yanjiu, Beijing, 1989, pl. 41, fig. 1.
These vases were also among the cargo of a wreck dating to 1323 which sunk off the Sinan coast of Korea on its way to Japan. See National Museum of Korea, Sinan Wreck Exhibition, Seoul, 1977, no. 15.
