Vases of this form without added decorative features are quite rare. Two undecorated vases with very similar flattened ribbed handles dated to the 13th/14th century are in the Topkapi Saray Museum, Istanbul, illustrated in Chinese Ceramics in the Topkapi Saray Museum, London, 1986, pp. 220-221, nos. 200 and 201. Another similarly shaped undecorated Yuan Longquan vase was sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 1 June 2011, lot 3821.
