It does not appear that any dish of this size and decoration with a Guangxu six-character mark has been published. However, a similarly decorated dish, of larger size, with a 'Chuxiugong zhi' mark, in the Weishaupt Collection, is illustrated by G. Avitabile, From the Dragon's Treasure, London, 1987, p. 109, no. 157.
