Compare the Liao dynasty green-glazed ewer of closely related form, also with a horizontal 'bamboo' handle, in the collection of the Beijing Palace Museum and illustrated on the museum's website, coll. no. 新00105310.
Compare also the Liao dynasty white-glazed jar of very similar design, in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art, illustrated by Watson, Tang and Liao Ceramics, New York, 1984, no. 35, of which the author notes that "the design does not occur on late Tang or Five Dynasties pottery and appears to be the invention of the Liao potters."
