What was a gui vessel used for?

In the Western Zhou, they became important ritual vessels, paired in even numbers with odd-numbered bronze 鼎 (ding) cauldrons at ceremonies and banquets. Their ritual importance faded in the mid-to-late Spring and Autumn period; by the Warring States period, bronze gui had largely left ritual sets.
What does 簠𭾁 mean?
Two separate vessel names.
In historical Chinese inventories, 簠𭾁 lists two separate vessels, not one compound word.
