According to Dominic Jellinek, Marcus Ezekiel purchased several related pieces, but the descriptions given in the Collection Book are too imprecise to allow for definite identification:

- 3 piece turquoise blue, purchased at Sotheby's London, 16th May 1924, for £8.10
- At Sotheby's London's sale on 21st May1946, lot 133 comprised six turquoise glazed scholar's desk objects, which might leave one piece not accounted for.
