The diffuse pattern on this bowl is difficult to read, further away from Longquan and qingbai sources. For a bowl of similar form and diffuse decoration, associated with the Tongan kilns of Fujian, ascribed to the 13th century, see the Southeast Asian Ceramics Society exhibition, Chinese Celadons And Other Related Wares in Southeast Asia, Singapore, 1979, pp. 156-157, no. 78, pls. 66 & 67. For related bowls with combed and carved decoration from the Than Hoa kilns, see Philippe Truong, The Elephant and the Lotus: Vietnamese Ceramics in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, New York, 2007, pp. 51-52, nos. 19 and 20 (as Tan dynasty, 13th/14th century).
