A slightly smaller white jade vessel of similar form, also lacking its original cover and carved with a shuangxi motif beneath a pattern of interlocked dragons, is illustrated in Jade: Ch'ing Dynasty Treasures, National Museum of History, Taipei, 1997, no. 87. For an interesting comparison in porcelain, see a smaller imitation Dingyao tulu and cover dated to the Qianlong period, illustrated in Selected Porcelain of the Flourishing Qing Dynasty at the Palace Museum, Beijing, 1994, p. 361, no. 98.
