Massive chargers in this classic pattern were a favorite of Chinese porcelain collectors worldwide. Examples from the royal collection at Dresden sold Christie's London, 19 May 2005; others are in James Whistler's famed Peacock Room, now at the Freer Gallery, Washington DC; another, also with fungus mark, in the Topkapi Saray is illustrated by Krahl and Ayers in the Catalogue of Chinese Ceramics, Vol. III, pl. 2300.
