A similar dish painted with this elegant motif of a luxuriant lotus bouquet in the collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing, is included in Geng Baochang ed., Gugong Bowuyuan cang Ming chu qinghua ci [Early Ming blue-and-white porcelain in the Palace Museum], Beijing, 2002, vol. 2, pl. 199.
The lotus bouquet, with its beribboned cluster of lotus blooms, leaves and water weeds, first appeared on blue and white porcelain in the Yongle period and was revived in the early Qing dynasty. A Yongle dish painted with this design from the Qing court collection, but much larger in size and decorated with a border of waves, is preserved in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, and included in Pleasingly Pure and Lustrous: Porcelains from the Yongle Reign of the Ming Dynasty. Guidebook, Taipei, 2017, pp. 66-67.
