Vases of this type are held in important private and museum collections worldwide; see one illustrated in Kangxi Wares from the Shanghai Museum Collection, Hong Kong, 1998, pl. 7; another published in Porcelains from the Tianjin Municipal Museum, Hong Kong, 1993, pl. 130; and a third vase in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, illustrated together with an underglaze-blue version in Oriental Ceramics. The World's Great Collections, vol. 11, Tokyo, 1982, pl. 119. A similar vase, in the Meiyintang collection, is published in Regina Krahl, Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, vol. 4, part II, London, 2010, pl. 1706 where Krahl notes that the austere design, which is found only on porcelains from the Kangxi reign, may have been inspired by decoration on archaic bronzes.
