An almost identical vase in the Palace Museum is displayed in a large multi-treasure display cabinet in the Hall of Fragrance and illustrated, Life in the Forbidden City, Hong Kong, 1985, p. 224 (fig. 1, centre). Another Qianlong-marked vase with very similar decoration of scrolling lotus but with ruyi-shaped handles and an oval body is illustrated in The Prime Cultural Relics Collected by Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum - The Enamel Volume, Shenyang, 2007, p. 10, pl. 7.
