Related fanggu dated to the second half of the 17th century, include a larger example in the Pierre Uldry collection, published in Helmut Brinker and Albert Lutz, Chinese Cloisonné: The Pierre Uldry Collection, London, 1989 (German edition Zurich, 1985), col. pl. 212. The authors also refer to this vase (p. 130) to discuss the change in the design of the lotus flowers in order to date cloisonné enamels stating that 'From about the middle of the seventeenth century the upper end of the central petal changes from a rounded ogee-arch shape to a slightly raised, angular shieldlike form', as found on the present vessel and is an innovation of the Kangxi reign (1662-1722).
