The function of the bowlstand is very similar to that of a saucer. As
steaming bowls of tea had no handles, they were placed on stands
when served, so as not to burn the fingers of the recipient, and also
to provide a stable support for bowls which often have narrow bases.
A related example of a plain brown lacquer bowlstand, supported on
a slightly higher foot ring, excavated in the Yixing district, Jiangsu
province, is illustrated in Zhongguo Meishu Quanji Lacquerware, vol. 8,
Beijing, 1989, no. 93.
