The combination of this incised pattern of cranes amidst clouds and yellow glaze would appear to be rare. A Jiajing-marked blue-glazed dish incised with a dragon motif was included in the Special Exhibition of Dragon-Motif Porcelain in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, 1983, Catalogue no. 32. Other Jiajing examples with this pattern of cranes amidst clouds include an underglaze blue and yellow dish illustrated in Mayuyama, Seventy Years, 1976, no. 851, and a bowl decorated in a white slip under a coffee-brown glaze in the Musuem of Eastern Art, Oxford, illustrated by Soame Jenyns, Ming Pottery and Porcelain, 91B
