A very similar fangding with a higher domed cover, from an altar garniture set in the Victoria and Albert Museum, is illustrated by Edward F. Strange, Chinese Lacquer, London, 1926, pls. IX and X; and another from the British Museum, mis-catalogued as late Ming, is illustrated in Oriental Lacquer, London, pl. 15. A circular tripod ding with comparable S-shaped handles, is also in the British Museum, illustrated in Hai-Wai Yi-Chen, Chinese Art in Overseas Collections, National Palace Museum, Taiwan, 1987, pl. 164; while two examples of covered fangding on stands, but with simpler upright loop handles, include one illustrated by Xu Huping, The Treasures of the Nanjing Museum, and another by Annette Juliano, Treasures of China, p. 161 (bottom right).
