The inspiration for this shape and pattern originates from meiping produced during the early Ming period, such as the Yongle (1403-24) vase in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum - 34 - Blue and White Porcelain with Underglazed Red (I), Hong Kong, 2000, p. 32, no. 30.
A number of these high-shouldered meiping with Qianlong marks have been published including one in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of the Palace Museum - 36 - Blue and White Porcelain with Underglazed Red (III), Hong Kong, 2000, p. 131, no. 117; and a pair from the T.Y. Chao Collection, included in the exhibition at the Hong Kong Museum of Art, 1978, no. 79, one of which is illustrated in Blue and White Porcelains in the Tianminlou Foundation, Hong Kong, 1996, p. 222, no. 94.
