Refer to Margaret Medley's article "Re-grouping 15th Century Blue and White", T.O.C.S., vol. 34, London, 1963, where she discusses a group of small blue and white vases which have similar decoration, Xuande marks and stepped base, which she dates to the period between Xuande and Chenghua. Refer, also, to the ewer with a dragon spout and very similar scrolling decoration to that on the present jar, previously in the Eumorfopoulos collection and now in the British Museum illustrated by Medley, op. cit., pl. 13a and also by R. L. Hobson in The Wares of the Ming Dynasty, London, 1923, pl. 19, fig. 3
