The present lot is exceptional in being the most naturalistically modelled.

One crab tureen and cover, Qianlong, is in the Peabody Essex Museum, illustrated by W.R.Sargent, Treasures of Chinese Export Ceramics from the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, MA, 2012, no. 256. The second is in the RA collection, previously in the Robert and Melanie Gill collection, illustrated by Maria Antónia Pinto de Matos, The RA collection of Chinese Ceramics: A Collector's Vision, vol.II, London, 2011, no.252. The third example was previously in the Russel B.Aitken Collection at Camp Soleil, and was later sold at Christie's New York, January 20-21, 2004, lot 327. A fourth crab tureen and cover, Qianlong, was formerly in the G.Duff Collection, Lisbon, illustrated by A.du Boulay, Christie's Pictorial History of Chinese Ceramics, Oxford, 1984, p.303, fig.3, and was later sold at Sotheby's New York, 18 January 2019, lot 324.
