The present lot is unusual because of the handles on the sides. Most known examples lack such handles. A jar of similar decoration, but without the handles is illustrated in John Ayers, The Baur Collection: Chinese Ceramics, Geneva, 1968, Vol. I, fig. A108. Other examples have sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 29th May 2007, lot 1474, and Sotheby Parke-Bernet, 23rd & 24th May 1974, lot 340.
