Sackler Museum, Harvard University Art Museums, Cambridge, 1995, cat. no. 61, where it is noted that the ribs seen on the present type of vessel were first used on ceramics during the Tang dynasty in imitation of Tang lacquer and silver and eventually became a popular decorative technique by the 12th century.
