哈佛大學藝術博物館藏有兩件十分有趣的南北朝時期至隋代早期的作品，一件是青瓷，另一件是銀器，均為著名古董商藍理捷（J.J.Lally）於2006年售出。這類器物的功能十分神秘，這件鏤空青瓷的底部有一個圓孔。
The Harvard Art Museums has two very interesting pieces from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the early Sui Dynasty, one celadon and the other silver, both of which were sold in 2006 by the famous antiquities dealer J.J. Lally. The function of such wares is mysterious, and this piece of chased celadon has a circular hole in the base.
河北省博物館有類似的作品，定為漢代，功能是薰籠。從編織的手法看，應該是一脈相承的做法。或許底部的孔洞跟薰香有關？
There is a similar piece in the Hebei Provincial Museum, attributed to the Han dynasty, which functions as a fumigation cage. The technique of weaving suggests that it is an inherited practice. Perhaps the holes in the bottom are related to the incense?

製造地不確，可能是中國南部。與銀器組件2006.170.225.2配對。

這種同時期材質的交融十分有趣，並不是為了節省成本，而是有十分明確的藝術訴求。全世界範圍內，這種具有學術意義的竹籃十分稀少。
相信這種早期的設計，隨即影響了宋瓷定窯、贛州窯以及各個其他北方窯廠的相似器型的誕生。
This interesting blend of contemporaneous materials is not intended to be a cost-saving exercise, but has a very clear artistic purpose. Bamboo baskets of this academic significance are rare worldwide.
It is believed that this early design immediately influenced the creation of similar forms at the Ding kilns of Song porcelain, the Ganzhou kilns, and various other northern kilns.
