Bowls and dishes of this type are sometimes described as being a bowl and cover, the cover being used as a suacer or small dish when inverted.

Compare the similar bowl and dish of the same size illustrated by R. Krahl, Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, London, 1994, vol. 1, nos. 382 (dish) and 384 (bowl). A bowl of this size in The Metropolitan Museum of Art is illustrated by S. Valenstein, A Handbook of Chinese Ceramics, revised ed., 1989, no. 77, p. 86. One of slightly larger size was included in the exhibition Chinese Art from the Collection of H.M. King Gustav VI Adolf of Sweden, The British Museum, January 21-March 5, 1972, no. 115; and another is illustrated in Mayuyama, Seventy Years, 1976, vol. I, no 395
