For other similar Yongzheng examples of this pattern, cf. a dish from the Freer Gallery of Art, illustrated by Beurdeley and Raindre, Qing Porcelain, pl. 231; one from the Soames Collection included in the O.C.S. Exhibition of Celadon Wares, London, 1947, Catalogue, no. 131; one from the T. Y. Chao Collection, exhibited at the Hong Kong Museum of Art, 1978, Catalogue, no. 46; and another from the H. M. Knight Collection, sold in Hong Kong, 20 May 1980, lot 79.
An element of archaistic interest is evident in the present dish in that the glaze resembles pale celadon Longquan glazes of the twelfth-thirteenth centuries. It is known that reproduction of Longquan glazes was indeed on Tang Ying's List of Porcelains Supplied to the Court in 1729.
