The Porzellansammlung, Dresden, has a vase of the same form and design, except the vase holds a bunch of chrysanthemum rather than the peacock feathers shown on ours. The vase in the Dresden museum is dated to the Kangxi period, and is part of the Augustus the Strong collection (inv. number PO 7111).
