The motif of cresting waves was popular on Chinese bronzes from around the twelfth century while on ceramics it is found as the main motif on JIzhou wares of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The rich brownish-black patina of the bronze was probably deliberately induced, in keeping with the interest in archaic bronzes and antiquarianism during this period.'
