Longquan trumpet-neck vases with bowstring bands on the neck and upright leaves around the foot are relatively rare. An example with scrolling chrysanthemum on the body is illustrated in Mayuyama, Seventy Years, vol. 1, Tokyo, 1976, p. 166, fig. 482. Two vases with lotus designs are known, one from the shipwreck off Sinan and included in the Special Exhibition of Cultural Found off Sinan Coast, National Museum of Korea, Seoul, 1977, Catalogue, no. 23; another was sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 25 April 2004, lot 282. See also two other examples with a plain body, one was included in the Illustrated Catalogue of a Special Exhibition of Sung Porcelain, National Palace Museum, Taipei, 1978, Catalogue, p. 82, no. 65; the other was sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 15 November 1988, lot 111.
