The lobed mouth and the high foot, according to
Peter Lam in Layered Beauty, Hong Kong, 2010,
p.10, are inherited from Tang dynasty gold and
silver wares which are commonly copied in Song
ceramics, especially Qingbai, Yue and Yaozhou
wares. See a number of contemporaneous silver
bowls of related lobed form, included in the
exhibition So Gen no bi: The Colors and Forms of
Song and Yuan China, Nezu Institute of Fine Arts,
Tokyo, 2004, nos.6-8.

A very similar red lacquer bowl was also included
in the same exhibition, ibid., no.1, together with
four smaller flower-shaped winecups made in red
lacquer. A pair of black lacquer prunus bowls was
also in the same exhibition, but of more rounded
shape, with the bowl standing on a wider foot. 104
Compare with a further bowl illustrated in Toyo no
urushi kogei, Tokyo National Museum, Tokyo, 1977,
no.419, but with a slightly heavier foot and possibly
of a more substantial weight than the current
example; and another bowl of this type, in the
Nihon Tenrikankokan, published in Hai-wai Yi-chen:
Chinese Art in Overseas Collections, Lacquerware,
Taipei, 1987, pl.19.
