A set of twelve dishes of this type, including one covered with a yellow glaze, in the Palace Museum, Beijing, is illustrated in Qingdai yuyao ciqi [Qing porcelains from the imperial kilns preserved in the Palace Museum], Beijing, 2002, vol. 2, pl. 194; and another dish was sold at Christie’s London, 3rd/4th June 1973, lot 212.

Records show that Nian delivered forty pieces of each colour (see the catalogue to the exhibition China. The Three Emperors, Royal Academy of Arts, London, 2005, p. 431)..
