The fruiting lychee branch motif, carved against a ground of various diapers, appears on several red lacquer boxes and covers dating to the 16th century, including a pair of circular boxes in the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities, Stockholm, illustrated by Sir Harry Garner, Chinese Lacquer, London, 1979, p. 128, pl. 64. The motif appears more frequently on circular boxes. The present tiered boxes are extremely unusual and rare, and there do not appear to be any similar published examples.
