Yellow-glazed porcelain crafted in the Ming dynasty seemed to be exclusively designated for the emperor's use. Particularly, exquisite examples of the Hongzhi and Zhengde reigns are renowned for their exceptional glazing and vivid hue.

Compare with a similar yellow-glazed dish, Zhengde reign mark and period, in the Qing Court collection at the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of the Treasures of the Palace Museum: Monochrome Porcelain, Hong Kong, 1999, p.46, pl.41. Another yellow-glazed dish is illustrated in R. Krahl, Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, vol.4, London, 2010, pl.1676.

Compare with a similar Imperial yellow-glazed dish, Zhengde mark and of the period, which was sold at Christie's New York, 14 September 2017, lot 735.
