Porcelain vessels in the form of lingzhi fungus are quite rare. A vase naturalistically modeled in the form of a lingzhi plant, covered with a pale lavender-blue glaze and with a Qianlong seal mark was included in the exhibition, Qing Mark and Period Monochrome and Two-Coloured Wares, S Marchant & Son, London, June 1992, no. 34.
