早於宣德年間，已見有茄皮紫釉器，然明瓷作例極罕，至清代始多施用於盤盌。相類劃龍紋盤，錄於John Ayers，《The Baur Collection Geneva: Chinese Ceramics》，日內瓦，1968-74年，卷3，編號A476及477。另有一對作例，出自Elphinstone雅蓄，後轉入大衛德爵士珍藏，現存倫敦大英博物館，見 Margaret Medley，《Illustrated Catalogue of Ming and Ch’ing Monochrome in the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art》，倫敦，1973年，編號B585及586。還有一盤與本品類同，收錄於《清代單色釉瓷器特展》，國立故宮博物院，台北，1981年，編號45。
