Although there are several similar published examples of carved cinnabar lacquer bowls with similar motifs, the present lot is rare for its gilt lining. Compare with a similar carved cinnabar lacquer bowl, Ming dynasty, illustrated in China Lacquerwork & Enamelware Selection, Beijing, 2006, p.55; see also another carved red lacquer bowl, Ming dynasty, illustrated by S.Kwan, Chinese Lacquer: The Muwen Tang Collection Series, Hong Kong, 2010, pp.222-223, pl.69; see also a related carved cinnabar lacquer bowl, Wanli mark and period, illustrated by K.J.Brandt, Chinesische Lackarbeiten, Linden Museum, Stuttgart, 1988, pl.44; and B.McElney, Chinese Metalwares and Decorative Arts, Museum of East Asian Art, Bath, 1993, pl.321.

與本例紋飾類似的剔紅漆盌於現有出版物中時可見到，但如本例內壁包金者卻十分罕見。可與之比對的一件明代剔紅花鳥紋盌，見於《珠聯璧合之美：中國漆器琺瑯器收藏精品選》，北京，2006年，頁55。亦可參見另一件明代剔紅漆盌，圖見關善明著，《中國漆藝》，香港，2010年，頁222-223，圖版69。另有明代萬曆款剔紅漆盌則見於K.J.Brandt著，《Chinesische Lackarbeiten》，林登博物館，斯圖加特，1988年，圖版44，及B.McElney著，《Chinese Metalwares and Decorative Arts》，巴斯東亞藝術博物館，1993年，圖版321。

倫敦邦瀚斯曾於2013年11月7日售出一件十六/十七世紀剔紅花鳥紋盌，拍品編號300，內壁同樣包金，可為參考。
