- A very closely related example, likely from the same hand, but with the more commonly found scalloped and barbed blue-ground border is with Aronson Antiquairs, inv. no. D1023. (link)
- Another example with the above-described border showing the Sacrifice of Abraham is in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Object number BK-1958-33. (link)
- Five (partial) smaller examples with biblical scenes combined with a floral scroll pattern on the rim, were found in Enkhuizen in 2018. (link)
