A very similar jade bowl, currently in the Louvre Museum, Paris (inv. no.Nr. 199), was recorded in the French Royal inventory between 1684 and 1701, during the reign of Louis XIV.
The shape and delicate carving on this cup is known to the Persian and Central Asian worlds and was transmitted across South Asia and China. Nephrite jade, from which this cup is carved, is known to be a durable material, although prone to cracks, particularly when finely carved (such as on the present example), due to fast changes in temperature or impact.
