Boxes of square or rectangular shape with canted corners were popular during the Jiajing and Wanli periods. For example, see a Wanli-marked rectangular box and cover with lotus scrolls in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in, Blue and White Porcelain with Underglazed Red (II), Hong Kong, 2000, p. 197, no. 184; a Jiajing-marked square box and cover of similar design, sold at Christie’s London, 5 December 1994, lot 195; and a Wanli-marked square box and cover with birds in the central panel, sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 28 November 2005, lot 1427.
