Cizhou sgraffiato vases of this yuhuchunping shape with the decoration carved through a white slip rather than the dark brown glaze appear to be quite rare. One of similar type, also with the decoration arranged in bands around the body and neck, is illustrated in Song Ceramics from the Kwan Collection, Hong Kong Museum of Art, 1994, no. 197.
