Bronze ladles were used to bail wine from vessels during ritual ceremonies. Two forms of bronze ladle are known, dou and shao, which are distinguished by the shape of their handle: dou has a curved handle, and shao has a straight handle. Dou as a drinking utensil was recorded in early Chinese literature, such as the Shijing (Classic of Poetry), a compilation of ancient poems dating from the early Western Zhou dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn period. In the Shijing, the poem 'Reed by the Road' contains a verse which can be translated to 'the tasty wine shall be bailed with a large dou'.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related bronze ladle with a gold-inlaid inscription, dated to the Western Han dynasty, in the collection of the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, accession number S2012.9.2495.
