Massive, lavishly enameled pieces of this high quality were appreciated both by the Chinese court and Western traders, and could be found in a grand 18th century European house or a Chinese palace alike.

Compare with an octagonal jardinière painted with the same long-tailed bird among flowering branches in the exhibition Y'ang-ts'ai: The Foreign Colors, Rose Porcelains of the Ch'ing Dynasty at the China Trade Museum in Milton, Massachusetts (12 February - 27 June 1982, cat. no. 21).
