The fine potting and glazing of this amphora are similar to that of a smaller (35.3 cm.) example illustrated in Toji Zenshu - To Sansai, vol. 25, Japan, 1961, no. 8. Others, also of smaller size, are in the Musée Guimet, Paris, illustrated in Oriental Ceramics, The World's Great Collections, vol. 7, Tokyo/New York/San Francisco, 1981, col. pl. 7; and in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, illustrated by S. Valenstein, A Handbook of Chinese Ceramics, 1989 (rev. ed.), no. 58.
