此盌巧飾團花，每朵細繪枝莖，捲葉、桃花、蝙蝠，雖沒框線，花樣渾圓，疏密恰宜，描繪入微，殊為珍稀。近似紋飾，可見於雍正粉彩團蝶盌。此類團蝶盌，民國時有仿造，較之清時御器，卻略欠生動自然，可見若要運用不同圖紋組成圓滿團花，實非易事，參考葉佩蘭，《古瓷辨識》，台北，1994年，頁175-6。

結合粉紅與雙瓣白桃花之桃蝠紋，盛行於雍正一朝，多飾於盤盌瓶器上，然此盌上之桃蝠團花紋，則極為罕見，據著錄，僅有一相類之盌，售於香港蘇富比1981年11月25日，編號285。

於十九世紀出任清廷海關總稅務司之英人賀璧理（Alfred E. Hippisley），為西方賞鑑清代御瓷之先驅。至1887年，他已借出超過300件器物予華盛頓史密森尼博物館，其中絕大部份屬清代藝作。1925年其收藏內多數藏品，經紐約蘇富比前身安德森藝廊轉售，其中不少後納入大衛德爵士收藏，現存倫敦大英博物館。
