Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Identical Chenghua mark and period porcelain bottles are in the Shanghai Museum and the Seattle Art Museum. Although nothing analogous has been unearthed by the archaeologists at Jingdezhen to date, there are other excavated Chenghua porcelains which combine an underglaze blue outline with a pale green enamel infill, such as a dish with formal lotus spray. Some scholars suspect these bottles of being Wanli period copies rather than Chenghua originals.
