The peony was a particularly popular decorative motif on Yaozhou wares, where the numerous petals conveyed the wish for abundant wealth.

Compare the similar bowl with peony design of slightly smaller size, but with very similar carving of the petal lappets on the exterior, in the collection of The Satoh Art Craft Research and Scholarship Foundation, included in the exhibition, The Masterpieces of Yaozhou Ware, Osaka, 1997, p. 49, no. 63.
