The inspiration for this shape and pattern originates from examples produced during the early Ming period, such as the 15th century example in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Blue and White Ware of the Ming Dynasty, Book II (part 1), Hong Kong, 1963, pl. 1; and two other meiping vases illustrated by T. Misugi, The Ardebil Shrine Collection, Hong Kong University Press, 1981, nos. A69 and A70.

A number of these tall, high shouldered vases are published: one formerly from the Edward T. Chow collection, sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 19 May 1981, lot 546; a vase from the Eugene O. Perkins collection, sold at Christie's New York, 2 June 1989, lot 90; and a pair from the T. Y. Chao collection, exhibited at the Hong Kong Museum of Art, 1978, illustrated in the Catalogue, no. 79, one of which is now in the S. C. Ko Tianminlou collection, and is illustrated in Blue and White Porcelains in the Collection of Tianminlou Foundation, Hong Kong, 1996, p. 222, no. 94.
