Compare a slightly smaller example with similar style of decoration and identical leaf tips at the shoulder and petal band encircling the base, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum - 35 - Blue and White Porcelain with Underglazed Red (II), Hong Kong, 2000, p. 92, no. 86. See, also, an example in the Percival David Foundation, but lacking the scroll border above the foot, illustrated by M. Medley, Illustrated Catalogue of Underglaze Blue and Copper Red Decorated Porcelains, London, 1976, section 3, pl. VII, no. A655.
