Bowls of this type were known as 'devils' work', guigong in Chinese, which may be a reference to the ‘devilish’ skills required. Due to the openwork technique, they were also called linglong which can be translated as 'delicate-openwork'. A similarly-decorated bowl with applied figures in high relief can be found in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, illustrated by Christiaan J.A. J?rg in Chinese Ceramics in the Collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. The Ming and Qing Dynasties, 1997, p. 47, fig. 28.
