Ronald W. Longsdorf, The Pottery Age: An Appreciation of Neolithic Ceramics from China, Circa 7000 BC - Circa 1000 BC, Hong Kong, 2020, pl. 64.

Evenly potted with a thin body, this rare pouring vessel exemplifies the technological advancement of the Longshan craftsmen, who excelled in using the wheel, which enabled more sophisticated construction than the traditional coil-built method. The rim is gently pinched on one side to form a spout, flanked by a pair of impressed bosses above horizontal strings which emphasise the simplicity of its form. Smoothly burnished on the interior and the upper section of the exterior, the vessel not only appeals to the eyes but also better serves its function as a container for it would have been easier to clean.
