No other doucai example of this form and decoration appears to be recorded. A comparable Qianlong doucai jarlet was sold at Christies Hong Kong, 27 May 2007, lot 1365.

A similarly decorated Yongzheng-marked doucai globular jarlet without its cover was sold at Christies London, 4 November 2008, lot 219. A further Yongzheng-marked example is illustrated by John Ayers, The Baur Collection, vol. 4, Geneva, 1974, A572 (no.61).
