In the Han dynasty, daily utensils were usually made of stoneware and goods for burial were made of earthenware. The hunting scene that decorates this vase suggests that the deceased was a nobleman, as hunting was a pastime of the aristocracy.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related green glazed vase with a hunting scene, dated to the Han dynasty (206 BC-220 AD), in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, accession number C.245-1909. Compare a closely related green glazed vase with a hunting scene, dated to the Western Han dynasty (206 BC-8 AD), in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, accession number C.1479-1924.
