Note: Longquan trumpet-neck vases with bowstring bands on the neck and upright leaves around the foot are relatively rare. Compare to a Longquan celadon vase of similar form and decoration, but of slightly smaller size (25 cm.) recovered from the cargo of a trading vessel that sank off the coast of Sinan, South Korea, in the 1320s, included in the Special Exhibition of Cultural Relics Found off the Sinan Coast, National Mseum of Korea, Seoul, 1977, col. pl. 10; and another example moulded with a sparsely arranged floral scroll on the body, illustrated in Mayuyama, Seventy Years, vol. 1, Tokyo, 1976, p. 166, fig. 482; and one with sprig-moulded decoration of leafy sprays on the neck in the Matsuoka Museum, Tokyo, illustrated in the Inaugural Exhibition catalogue Selected Masterpieces of The Matsuoka Museum of Art, Tokyo, 1975, p. 58, pl. 47.
