There is a minute flake and associated very faint hairline (approx. 2 cm) that has been restored at the rim, otherwise the vase is in good condition. The actual colour of the glaze is very close, if not a fraction lighter, versus the catalogue illustration.

此瓶造型雅致獨特，其赭黃釉色極為罕有，且黃釉多施於盤盌器型，極少用於瓷瓶之上，足見其珍。

懷海堂收藏有一近似瓷瓶，器型略異於本品，但瓶身同劃龍紋，罩施黃釉，署嘉慶年款，曾展於《機暇清賞：懷海堂藏清代御窰瓷缾》，香港中文大學文物館，香港，2007-8年，編號55。
