The design on the archaistic vase, and the quality of the gold and silver inlay is reminiscent of the well known group of gold and silver inlaid vessels by Hu Wenimg. For a published example of this type, see Gerard Tang and Hugh Moss, Arts From the Scholar's Studio, Oriental Ceramic Society of Hong Kong 1986, pg.110, pl.73.
