The motif of fish amidst waterweeds is based on Ming prototypes, such as the bowl illustrated by John Alexander Pope, Chinese Porcelains from the Ardebil Shrine, Smithsonian Institution, 1956, plate 64. Nearly identical fish and waterweeds can be seen on a Kangxi-marked porcelain covered vase illustrated by Liu Liang-yu, Ch'ing Official and Popular Wares, A Survey of Chinese Ceramics, Taipei, 1991, p. 55.
