Bear-form supports of this type were made as legs for vessels (probably for a lian, zun or pan vessel). Compare similar gilt-bronze bears supporting a lian wine container and a pan tray, in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Zhongguo wenwu jinghua dacidian: qing tong juan (Grand Dictionary of Gems of Chinese Cultural Relics: Bronzes), Shanghai, 1995, p. 334, no. 1199.
