The pictogram, Xizhong zuo bao zunyi may be translated as: 'Xizhong made this precious wine vessel'.
Few plain vessels dating to this period appear to have been published. Compare a zun of similar proportions but with the addition of a handle, also left undecorated with the exception of raised bands around the mid-section and foot illustrated in Zhongguo meishu quanji, gongyi meishu; qing tongqi , Beijing, 1986, vol. 4, p. 177, no. 194.
