A very similar blue-glazed Jun dish formerly in the collection
of Edward T. Chow is illustrated by R. Krahl in Chinese Ceramics
from the Meiyintang Collection, vol. 1, London, 1994, p. 220,
no. 382. The author refers to similar dishes in the Ru Kiln
Museum, Ruzhou, Henan province illustrated in Ruyao de xin
faxian (New Discoveries of Ru Kiln), Beijing, 1991, pls. 46 and
128 and suggests that this form of dish may have been used
together with small matching bowls, as both covers and stands.
