The result of thermoluminescence test, Oxford 666e68, is consistent with the dating of this lot

The appearance of both green and amber lead glazes on a single piece is rare in the Han period. A very similar lian and cover without the linear dancers, is in the Tenri Musuem, Nara, illustrated in Sekai Toji Zenshu, vol.8, Tokyo, 1955, pl.13, and in Mayuyama, Seventy Years, vol.I, pl.57, p.34. Cf.also the example in Oriental Ceramics, Kodansha Series, vol.10, fig.20 from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts
