A gray pottery jar of somewhat different form, also impressed with two different patterns, was included in the exhibition, Relics of Ancient China, from the Collection of Dr. Paul Singer, The Asia Society, 1965, Catalogue, p. 146, no. 137. And the same patterns formed on this jar can be seen on sherds illustrated in Sekai Toji Zenshu, vol. 8, Japan, 1955, p. 274, fig. 321
