The unusually small size and the plain interior of the present dish suggests
this could have been used at the table for sauce or condiments. Dishes of
this size first appeared among the doucai and blue and white decorated
Imperial wares during the Chenghua period (1465-1487). Described by
Gu Tai in the late Ming publication Bowu Yaolan (Important Criteria for
Studying Ancient Objects) as chopstick rests, those Chenghua examples
would have additional decoration to the interior.
