Blue and white vases of this type and size from the Wanli period appear to be particularly rare. There are, however, a few Jiajing
examples known to be recorded. See, for example, one in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of
Treasures of the Palace Museum. Blue and White Porcelain with Underglazed Red (I), Hong Kong, 2000, pl. 89; and another sold at
Christie's Hong Kong, 1st June 2016, lot 3320. Compare a further Jiajing vase of the same form but with a dragon design, formerly
in the collections of Higuchi and Yamauchi families, sold in these rooms, 23rd March 2011, lot 723.
