Compare the similar jar with slightly wider mouth opening illustrated by R. Krahl, Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, vol. I, London, 1994, no. 443, where the author describes the fine speckling as being 'lighter tea-dust suffusions'. See, also, the similar jar illustrated by B. Gyllensvärd, Chinese Ceramics in the Carl Kempe Collection, Stockholm, 1964, no. 266.
