No other Jiajing dish of this rare pattern appears to have been published. The prototype for this design can be seen on a Chenghua dish in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Blue and White Porcelain with Underglazed Red, The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, vol. II, Shanghai, 2000, p. 17, pl. 15. The lingzhi scroll surrounding the central roundel on the present dish follows the original Chenghua design very closely.

Compare with a similarly sized Jiajing-marked dish in The Palace Museum collection, Beijing, painted with the 'Three Friends of Winter' rendered in a slightly different style and lacking the ruyi scroll around the cavetto illustrated ibid, 2000, p. 140, pl. 129. Another smaller Jiajing-marked 'Three Friends of Winter' dish in the National Palace Museum collection, Taipei, again with differences in the composition but including a ruyi band around the rim was included in the exhibition Good Fortune, Long Life, Health, and Peace: A Special Exhibition of Porcelains with Auspicious Designs, National Palace Meseum, Taipei, 1995 and illustrated in the Catalogue, p. 158, pl. 80.
