This jade vase is made in imitation of a bronze zhi, a ritual wine vessel
originally made in bronze in the Shang dynasty. For a published example
of jade archaistic zhi-form vase of larger size (4w in.), see Chinese Jades:
Archaic and Modern from the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Vermont/Japan,
1989, pp. 138-39, no. 175. This jade vase can also be compared with a small
pale greyish-green jade archaistic vase in similar size, dated to the Song-
Ming dynasty, 13th-16th century, sold at Christie's New York, 13 September
2018, lot 904.
