In its elegant form and casting, the present tray is comparable to a pair of inscribed bronze dishes, each cast in the centre with a lengthy inscription dated to the seventh year of Xuande's reign, which corresponds to 1433, and the base bearing a pair of dragons encircling the characters nei nian, sold in our New York rooms, 16th March 1984, lot 121. The decoration is reminiscent of carved motifs found on lacquer wares, for example see a Song dynasty tray deeply carved with floral scroll design included in the exhibition So Gen no bi, Nezu Museum, Nezu, 2004, cat. no. 116.
For examples of bronze dishes bearing a Xuande mark and shaped after lacquer prototypes from the Song and Yuan periods, see a foliate dish sold at Christie's New York, 20th September 2002, lot 178; and another, included in the exhibition Oriental Works of Art, London, 2002, cat. no. 11, from the collection of Gerard Hawthorne.
