A similar dish is discussed and illustrated by J. Carswell, Blue and White Porcelain and Its Impact on the Western World, no. 20. Cf. the dish with ten foliate lobes and bearing a Xuande mark in the Art Institute, Chicago, illustrated by Daisy Lion-Goldschmidt, La Porcelaine Ming, pl. 52 and discussed on pp. 81-82. Cf. also the four dishes dated early 15th Century all with central lotus bouquets illustrated by Pope, Chinese Porcelains from the Ardebil Shrine, pl. 31. The lotus bouquet design dishes are usually straight-rimmed with the bouquets viewed swaying towards the right with the central and accompanying flowers shown in profile, whereas the barbed rim dishes show a more refined and elaborate treatment with the bouquets more upright and the blossoms themselves more full-faced and luxuriant than in other examples
