Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:This motif is much less frequently seen than the dragon-and-cloud design found on similar dishes of the Xuande era. A dish with rounded sides, a Xuande mark and an identical design of phoenix is in the National Palace Museum, Taipei. An unmarked dish of this design is in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Another is in the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art, London.
