Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:A number of dishes of this type survive with minor variations in the execution of the design in, for example, the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art, London, the Idemitsu Museum, Tokyo, and the Chang Foundation, Taipei. They belong to a series commissioned by the Longqing emperor, probably for serving food.
