宋元時期，梅花盛開的意象為流行的裝飾主題，廣泛應用於漆器及其他藝術媒材之中。例如一件現藏於大都會藝術博物館的黑漆嵌螺鈿八角形盤，其裝飾風格與梅花枝幹的描繪方式相似，見J. Watt與B. Ford著《東亞漆器——佛羅倫斯與赫伯特·歐文收藏》，紐約，1991年，頁126-128，編號55。此外，可參考舊金山亞洲藝術博物館收藏的一件宋元時期黑漆桌屏，亦以螺鈿鑲嵌手法描繪梅花枝幹，載於《海外遺珍——中國美術全集：漆器》，臺北，1987年，頁51，編號49。

描繪新月下梅花綻放的詩意畫面，在同時期的瓷器中亦有體現，如本圖錄第77號拍品——白社茶盞，以及一件南宋至元代龍泉青瓷刻花斗笠碗，該碗曾於佳士得紐約2007年3月22日拍賣會上售出，拍品編號277。

The theme of flowering plum blossoms was a popular motif in the Song and Yuan dynasties and can be found in lacquer and other media. A mother-of-pearl-inlaid black lacquer dish of octagonal form decorated with blossoming plum branches in a similar style, now in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, is illustrated by J. Watt and B. Ford in East Asian Lacquer, The Florence and Herbert Irving Collection, New York, 1991, pp. 126-128, no. 55. See, also, a Song-Yuan dynasty black lacquer table screen similarly decorated with mother-of-pearl-inlaid blossoming plum branches, in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, illustrated in Hai-Wai Yi-Chen (Chinese Art in Overseas Collections: Lacquer Ware), Taipei, 1987, p. 51, no. 49.

The lyrical depiction of prunus blossoms beneath a crescent moon is also found on contemporary ceramics, such as the Baishe teabowl in this catalogue, lot 77, and a Longquan celadon carved conical bowl, Southern Song-Yuan dynasty, sold at Christie's New York, 22 March 2007, lot 277.
