Sets of fahua jars and supporting stands appear to be quite rare. A very similar jar and stand, also from the Samuel T. Peters Collection, was sold at Parke-Bernet Galleries, Inc., New York, 15-16 October 1943, lot 338. See, also, the larger, more ornately decorated jar with an openwork frieze around the sides, supported on a waisted pedestal stand, in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is illustrated in Oriental Ceramics, The World's Great Collections, vol. 12, Tokyo, 1977, no. 74, where the set is dated to the 16th century.
