The shape is often called riyueguan ('sun-and-moon jar'), its cover supposedly representing the sun and the crescents at its sides the moon, but no comparable iconography appears to be known from other works of art. A rare Kangxi version of this design in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, is included in the Museum's exhibition Catalog of the Special Exhibition of K'ang-hsi, Yung-cheng and Ch'ien-lung Porcelain Ware from the Ch'ing Dynasty in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, 1986, cat. no. 27.A closely related jar and cover from the Meiyintang Collection was sold in our Hong Kong rooms, 4th April 2012, lot 14; and another, similarly with a cover, from the T.Y. Chao Collection, was sold in the same rooms, 19th May 1987, lot 283; one without a cover in the Hong Kong Museum of Art was included in the Museum's exhibition The Wonders of the Potter's Palette. Qing Ceramics from the Collection of the Hong Kong Museum of Art, Hong Kong, 1984, cat. no. 79.
