The thick potting and style of decoration of this bowl are inspired by Xuande prototypes, such as the bowl decorated with a frieze of lotus scroll set below a Xuande mark written in a line, all between detached clouds around the foot and at the rim, in the National Palace Museum, illustrated in the Catalogue of the Special Exhibition of Selected Hsüan-te Imperial Porcelains of the Ming Dynasty, Taipei, 1998, pp. 140-1, no. 43.
