Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Other dishes with this type of decoration survive in the Palace Museum, Beijing, and, with a classic scroll rim border, in the National Palace Museum, Taipei. Several dishes in the National Palace Museum are decorated with male or female figures outside in place of the Three Friends of Winter. This style of Three Friends of Winter decoration was used on other vessel shapes such as a stem cup in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, a bowl in the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art, London (reg. no. B635), and a cricket cage excavated at Jingdezhen. Possibly these tablewares were made to be used in sets.
