C.J.A. Jorg in Oriental Porcelain, Rotterdam 1997, pp. 19-20, illustrates a very similar (all porcelain) ewer from the Boymans-van Beuningen Museum collection, noting the similarity of these masks and those on a vase in the British Museum that was made for the Jesuit College of St. Paul, Macao (ex. Chinese Trade Ceramics, Taipei, 1994, pp. 26-7.) A very similar jug, all in porcelain, was sold Christie's London, 18 June 2002, lot 305.
