A similar Jiajing box of this design but with key-fret bands around the rim, formerly in the Bloxam Collection, and now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, is illustrated in R. L. Hobson, Chinese Ceramics in Private Collections, London, 1931, pl. 205. A very similar example was sold in our London rooms, 10th July 1979, lot 141 and again in our Hong Kong rooms, 20th November 1984, lot 328.
Sir Harry Garner in Oriental Blue and White, London, 1954, p. 32, notes that motifs decorating Jiajing period ceramics reflect the Daoist beliefs of the emperor: 'A favorite device is the peach tree with its trunk twisted into the form of the symbol of long life (shou).'
