A very similar gilt-silver cup, described as a wine cup and dated to the Southern Song dynasty, excavated in 1981 in Jiangsu province, Liyang area, and now in the Zhenjiang City Museum, is illustrated in Zhongguo wenwu jinghua daquan, qingtong juan (The Compendium of Chinese Art, Gold, Silver, Jade and Stone), Hong Kong, 1994, p. 140, no. 149. Unlike the present cup, the splayed foot of the Zhenjiang cup is decorated with pendent overlapping petals and lacks an inscription.
