In Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, vol. 1, London, 1994, p. 196,
no. 341, Regina Krahl illustrates a white stoneware water pot incised on the base with
the character guan (official), and states that guan characters appear on both white
stonewares as well as on celadon wares. While the guan inscription suggests that the
pieces in this group were made for court use, it is unclear for which courts these pieces
were made.

The inscription on the interior of the cover of the wood box was written in December of
the 29th year of Showa (1954) by an individual with the sobriquet Kajin and states that
the bowl was purchased in the 27th year of Showa (1952).
