• A dish of the same form and measurement painted with the identical landscape with the single peak mountain in the distance from a slightly different angle, gift of Roy Leventritt in the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, is illustrated by Julia B. Curtis in Trade, Taste and Transformation, Jingdezhen Porcelain for Japan, 1620-1645, 80, p.100, where the author mentions that the “dish represents a considerable investment of labour”.
• The clever composition is skilfully and confidently done, the water is rendered by a few linear lines beneath each boat and although the areas of rockwork appear randomly placed, the composition appears to work brilliantly. Again the drawing is reminiscent of the Wanli period, which would underline a theory of a very confident and competent artist continuing to paint into the Tianqi period.
• A further dish of this form and measurement, painted with a large elephant was included by S. Marchant & Son in their exhibition of Two Hundred Years of Chinese Porcelain, 1522-1722, June 1998, no.35, p.52.
