A jar of similar shape, but with a plain rather than flower-form foot, which is described as Hindustani jade, in the Qing Court collection, Beijing, is illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum - 42 - Jadeware (III), Hong Kong, 1995, p. 284, no. 236. A green jade ewer and cover of similar profile, with a long tubular spout, was sold in our Hong Kong rooms, 30 May 2006, lot 1592.
A jade bowl, similarly decorated with 'scooped' renderings of flower petals in the Turkish style, as seen on the cover and foot of the present jar and cover, is illustrated in Catalogue of a Special Exhibition of Hindustani Jade in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, 1983, pl. 4.
