The present jade dou appears to be very rare. The form of these
pedestalled ritual bowls with covers was mentioned in the Book
of Rites and is known since the Warring States period in both
bronze and pottery. See another similarly decorated grey jade dou,
dated early 19th century, bearing an apocryphal Xuande seal mark,
illustrated in The Crawford Bequest: Chinese Objects in the Collection
of the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, pl. 28.
