This vase is very rare and no other example of the same shape and design appears to have been published. A few jars with similar dragons confronting a 'flaming pearl' are published. A jar painted with two dragons in pursuit of a pearl was included in the exhibition, Imperial Porcelain of Late Qing, Art Gallery, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, 13 August - 25 September 1983, p. 76, no. 58. Another was sold at Christie's New York, 24-25 March 2011, lot 1744. The Qianlong prototype of the same design is illustrated in Chinese Porcelain, The S.C. Ko Tianminlou Collection, vol.1, Hong Kong Museum of Art, 1987, p. 156, pl. 114.

A Daoguang-marked bottle of the same shape and pattern but with the decoration in black enamel was included in the Exhibition of Qing Ceramics from the Seikado Bunko Art Museum, Tokyo, 2006, and illustrated in the Catalogue, p. 83, pl. 75.
