A dish of this shape and size with a rampant dragon and shou medallion appears to be very unusual. A covered box with a gilded Jiajing six-character mark and a dragon supporting a shou roundel was included in the exhibition, Dragon and Phoenix, Chinese Lacquer Ware at the Museum of East Asian Art, Cologne, March 24 - June 24, 1990 and illustrated in the Catalogue, no. 59. See, also, the Longqing box with a central lobed pentafoil enclosing a rampant dragon in the National Palace Museum, Taipei and illustrated by Derek Clifford in Chinese Carved Lacquer, London, 1992, p. 101, pls. 76a and 76b
