Bowls of this shape are rare, and it is even more unusual to find one
decorated with floral sprays, as most published examples depict fruits.
See, for example, the Qianlong-marked bowl with the sanduo motif,
illustrated by Gordon Lang, The Powell-Cotton Collection of Chinese
Ceramics, England, 1988, no.88.
