A pair of similar figures, also wearing unusual fur capes and holding lotus-form vases, but with differently decorated robes, is illustrated by W. R. Sargent, The Copeland Collection, Salem, 1991, pp. 133 - 135. Compare the related single example from the Mottahedeh Collection, illustrated by Howard and Ayers, China for the West, London and New York, 1978, vol.II, pp. 614 and 615, which has similarly decorated robes, but without fur cape and holding the more common beaker vase.
