Regional attribution: Shanghai / Pudong-Nanhui stylistic association also shared with Jiangnan and Nantong; no exclusive Shanghai provenance. The exact maker, workshop and production year are not documented.
The pattern is described as woven into the cloth, rather than printed on its surface.
The source notes that the motif may be older than this particular textile; the age of a pattern does not establish the age of the surviving cloth.
