Heavily potted and decorated with floral scrolls to the exterior below a keyfret band, the present bowl is rare on account of its size and form. See a closely related alms bowl, of smaller size without a keyfret band at the lip, attributed to the early Ming dynasty, most likely produced for imperial use, in the Palace Museum, Beijing (accession no. 新00041518), illustrated in Tianxia Longquan: Longquan qingci yu quanqiu hua / Longquan of the World: Longquan Celadon and Globalization, vol. 1, Beijing, 2019, cat. no. 130.
