A number of small cloisonné enamel bottle vases decorated with lotus scrolls have been recorded. One such example is a Qianlong-marked vase of similar size and design, but with a melon-shaped body and handles flanking the neck, catalogued as a tool vase in a garniture set holding chopsticks and spatula, in the Beijing Palace Museum Collection and illustrated in Compendium of Collections in the Palace Museum - Enamels (2) - Cloisonne in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Beijing, 2011, pl. 160. Another example, with a more elongated body, and inscribed with a Qianlong mark above the character Se, is in the Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum Collection and illustrated in The Prime Cultural Relics Collected by Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum - The Enamel Volume, Shenyang, 2007, p.9, pl. 6.
