子母雞圖案，明成化朝始現，屬經典瓷繪紋樣，然本品對前朝圖案之詮釋天真率意，與成化器例大相逕庭，且改施粉彩，殊為罕見。此二雞盃，溯承古風，粉彩細繪，或乃唯一。畫中公雞母雞，雌雄作伴，其構圖互補，二器所繪母雞有異，場景溫馨可人，更顯別緻。二盃造型，為典型康熙晚期至雍正早期風格。相近盃例，亦見於雍正一朝，其形制有別，飾數雞於花叢之中，寫款相若，取三行六字，此類款式常與特殊紋樣作品相配。

比較一對略大盌例，器壁圓弧、圖飾相類，載於《清代彩瓷》，香港東方陶瓷學會，香港大學馮平山博物館，香港，1977年，編號70。近似圖案見於同時期之鬪彩雞缸盃上，其巧思更緊奉成化衣缽，見一雍正署款例，同屬玫茵堂藏，錄於康蕊君，前述出處，編號1745。
