Very few examples of this rare form and decoration appear to published. An example in the Palace Museum, Beijing of similar size is illustrated in Gugong Bowu Yuancang, Qing Dai Yuyao Ciqi, Vol. 1, Beijing, 2005, pp. 162-163, no. 47. Another example in the National Museum of China is published in Studies of the Collections of the National Museum of China, Shanghai, 2006, pp. 4-5 no. 2. A slightly taller example (24 cm.) in the Meiyintang Collection with the reign mark written within double-circles is illustrated in Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, vol. 2, p. 126, no. 754.

Compare also with similar examples decorated in copper-red rather than underglaze-blue including one in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Sekai Toji Zenshu, Shogakukan Series, vol. 15, pl. 141; one in the Shanghai Museum, illustrated by Wang Qingzheng (ed.), in Kangxi Porcelain Ware from the Shanghai Museum Collection, Hong Kong, 1998, no. 71, p. 108; and one illustrated by Liu Liang-yu in Ch'ing Official and Popular Wares, A Survey of Chinese Ceramics, vol. 5, p. 72.
