Dishes with this design and the addition of the unusual iron-red crane roundel on the base, include a pair from the Rogers Fund, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, illustrated by S. Valenstein, A Handbook of Chinese Ceramics, New York, 1988, p. 247, nos. 249/250; a second pair from the Paul and Helen Bernat Collection, sold twice at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 15 November 1988, lot 12, and again, 13 November 1990, lot 330; and a single dish, dated to the Yongzheng period, illustrated in Porcelains in Polychrome and Contrasting Colours, The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 1999, pl. 219.
