The long inscription to both sides of the ewer alludes to mythical dragons and deities, referring to the joy of wine drinking. See a Ming dynasty jade ewer in the Palace Museum Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum. Jadeware (II), The Commercial Press, Hong Kong, 1995, pl. 206.
