John Alexander Pope records that in 1611, Shah Abbas dedicated a group of Chinese porcelains to the Ardebil Shrine, among which sixteen examples were monochrome yellow-glazed wares dating from the Hongzhi, Zhengde, Jiajing, and Wanli periods. See J. A. Pope, Chinese Porcelains from the Ardebil Shrine, Washington, 1956, p. 151. A highly comparable Hongzhi yellow-glazed dish, formerly in the collection of Dorothy Tapper Goldman, was sold at Christie’s New York, 22 March 2024, lot 828.
