Phoenixes are often associated with imperial women. The sharpness of the outlines and decoration on this tea-bowl stand is typical of works produced at court in the early fifteenth century. Lacquer stands of this type were used to hold ceramic bowls, following the tradition from the Song dynasty (960–1279).
