An early Yaozhou celadon bowl of comparable form, decorated using the same technique and featuring a closely related pattern on the petal-lobed, flaring sides and broad interior base, is illustrated in Wudai Huangpu yaozhi, Beijing, 1997, pl.45-2. Detailed line drawings of the piece can be found on p.99, fig.54-4.

For further comparison, see another Yaozhou celadon bowl with rounded sides, excavated in 1991 at the Yaozhou kiln site at Huangpu in Tongchuan, Shaanxi. This piece, now in the Yaozhou Ware Museum, is illustrated in The Masterpieces of Yaozhou Ware at The Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka, 1997, p.101, no.134. Additionally, another Yaozhou celadon bowl with similar decoration, also unearthed in 1991 at the Huangpu kiln site and in the Yaozhou Ware Museum, is illustrated in Zhongguo chutu ciqi quanji, vol.15, Beijing, 2008, p.101, no.101. Compare with a related bowl with lotus design in the centre surrounded by waves, Northern Song/Jin dynasty, illustrated in Marvels of Celadon: The Shang Shan Tang Collection of Yaozhou Wares, Hong Kong, 2019, pp.218-219, no.57.
