Another jar, with more elaborate molding, is included by C. and M. Beurdeley in A Connoisseur's Guide to Chinese Ceramics, New York, 1974, no. 91. An inscribed jar dated to 1309, unearthed at Baita Village, Huhhot City, now in the Museum of the Autonomous Region of Inner Mongolia, was illustrated in the Catalogue of the exhibition, The Silk Road: Treasures of Tang China, The Empress Place Museum, Singapore, 1991, pp. 143-144 and illustrated in Sekai toji zenshu, Tokyo, 1981, vol. 13, p. 128, no. 103.
