A similar bowl from the collection of Sir David Home Rt. was sold in our London rooms, 8th December 1992, lot 315. Bowls of this type often have later-applied black enamel obscuring the fifth claw of each dragon. A Kangxi mark and period 'dragon' dish painted in a similar fashion to the present lot, with green enamel over an underglaze blue ground, and with the fifth claw covered with black enamel, is illustrated in John Ayers, The Baur Collection, Vol. IV, Geneva, 1972, pl. A555.
