The prominent use of cobalt blue suggests a resemblance to late Ming dynasty pieces, as during the Kangxi period, underglaze blue was less common in the famille verte palette. The box's shape bears similarities to Japanese vessels. The inclusion of applied flowers, fruits, or leaves is uncommon for Chinese pieces of this period and brings to mind early European porcelains, such as those produced at Meissen in the 1710s, as well as contemporaneous Japanese ceramics.
