It is rare to find a large Wanli dish with such a detailed design of Immortals in landscape. Shoulao symbolises longevity, and so do the Eight Immortals. Comparable dishes include one of similar size and design in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, illustrated by D. Lion-Goldschmidt, La Porcelain Ming, Fribourg, 1978, p. 186, pl. 193; another one from the J. M. Hu Family Collection, was sold at Sotheby's New York, 4 June 1985, lot 14; and another was sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 6 November 1997, lot 1053.
