The mark, yutang qingwan, can also be found as a title strip on two small bronze scroll-form water pots: one in the Qing Court Collection illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum - Small Refined Articles of the Study, Shanghai, 2009, pp. 6-7; the other in the Blumenfield Collection sold at Christie's New York, 22 March 2012, lot 1259. The same mark can also be seen on a bronze tripod censer of a different shape in Mr. Yang Ping Zhen's collection of Ming and Qing bronze censers illustrated in Jin Yu Qing Yan, National Museum of History, 1996, p. 120, no. 17.
