A similarly-decorated white stoneware water pot dated Tang, Five
Dynasties or Liao, 10th century AD, also incised with the character guan
(official) on the base, is illustrated by R. Krahl, Chinese Ceramics from the
Meiyintang Collection, vol. one, United Kingdom, 1994, p.196, no. 341. R.
Krahl remarks that the guan character appears on both white stonewares
as well as celadon wares. While the guan inscription suggests the pieces
in this group were made for court use, it is unclear for which courts these
pieces were made.
