同類嘉靖盌，存世極罕，僅見少數，分藏於各大博物館及私人收藏。參考一略小例，藏台北國立故宮博物院，外飾纏蓮，內飾騰馬，輔以祥獅紋，錄於《明清琺瑯器展覽圖錄》，台北，1999年，圖版8。亦見一魚紋例，Uldry收藏，存蘇黎世 Rietberg Museum，載於 Helmut Brinker 及 Albert Lutz，《Chinese Cloisonné: The Pierre Uldry Collection》，蘇黎世，1988年，圖版33。

另可參考一相類例，署嘉靖款，內飾壽字，輔飛鶴紋，藏巴黎裝飾藝術博物館，錄於《Cloisonné. Chinese Enamels from the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties》，Bard Graduate Centre，紐約，2011年，圖版6.16；同見一例，內飾雙魚，圖版4.13；亦見兩盒例，飾道教仙人，圖版6.15及7.12。相類人物紋飾者，可見一例，藏北京故宮博物院，載於《故宫博物院藏品大系‧琺瑯器編》，卷1，北京，2011年，編號129。

瓷盌一類，亦見與本品相若者，可知時之琺瑯御作，與景德鎮瓷窰，通往甚密，相互影響頗深。參考一瓷例，署嘉靖款，售於香港蘇富比2006年4月10日，編號1674。
