Although Lu Yuanyu is not recorded, silver and other metalwork with the caster's signature became popular from the late Ming dynasty, with the trend continuing into the late Qing period. See the works of Hu Wenming and Shisou, both revered for their ability to imitate ancient bronze vessels in both quality and detail. For further reading on archaistic vessels see William Watson, 'Categories of Post-Yuan Decorative Bronzes', Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society, 1981-1982, vol. 46, pp. 10-28.
