The shape of this bowl is fashioned after the Northern Song Ding conical bowls, usually covered in ivory-white or black glaze and bound by metal rims. See for example a black-glazed Ding bowl from the Percival David Collection, now housed at the British Museum, and illustrated by Stacey Pierson, Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art: A Guide to the Collection, London, 2002, no. 22.
