Although celadon water pots with droppers are extremely rare, a Guanyao example has been published in the Indianapolis Museum of Art Exhibition Catalogue, Beauty and Tranquility: The Eli Lilly Collection of Chinese Art, 1983, p.335, fig. 6.
Other globular tripod water vessels but with crackled glazes and lacking a dropper can be found in the Kempe Collection, Catalogue, no.134; and others illustrated in Selected Far Eastern Art in Yale University Art Gallery, no.313; and by Hochstadter, Early Chinese Ceramics in the Buffalo Museum of Science, no.63; and another from the Ingram Collection exhibited in Venice, 1954, Catalogue no. 451
