This lacquer tray can best be compared to another example of closely related subject, but possibly slightly later in date, illustrated by Bluett & Sons, From Innovation to Conformity, Chinese Lacquer from the 13th to 16th Centuries, London, 1989, no. 8 and again in the Shoto Museum of Art exhibition Catalogue, Chinese Lacquerware, 1991, no. 41.
