NORTHERN SONG DYNASTY, 10TH-11TH CENTURY

Compare the white-glazed cup of Northern Song date formerly in the collection of Carl Kempe and now in the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities, Stockholm, illustrated by B. Gyllensvärd in Oriental Ceramics, The World's Great Collections, vol. 8, Tokyo/New York/San Francisco, 1982, fig. 105. The Kempe example is similarly glazed and has a similar dragon-form handle, and differs only in that its body is lobed in six sections.
