This rare Zhengde marked 'dragon' dish is decorated solely with iron red, and it appears that no other dish of the same design has been published. A Zhengde marked 'dragon' bowl, painted with two iron-red dragons striding above green-enamelled waves, in the Idemitsu Museum is illustrated in Chinese Ceramics in the Idemitsu Museum, Tokyo, 1986, no. 176. Interestingly, the mark on this bowl is also a four-character mark painted in iron red.
