這盌上繪滿鋪盛開之菊、蓮、牡丹花卉、蓓蕾及枝葉，寓意百花呈瑞。西洋多喜用「mille-fleurs」（萬花）稱號。然清宮之「錦地夾彩」、「萬花堆」或「錦上添花」等稱謂似更能表現花卉相互堆疊、不留空隙之圖象布局。雍正夾彩器極之稀罕，並不常見，或許和雍正帝尚好傳統古雅構圖﹐多於過度華奢和複雜設計之喜好有關；也可能出於以多色彩料繪畫如斯精妙細密圖案時，所要求之高度準繩所致。現器應可入於此系列中少量極其成功和出色製作之一。夾彩技法至乾隆一朝更趨成熟，現藏巴黎吉美博物館之乾隆粉彩「萬花錦」紋罐可數其中至臻美器之一，見 Michel Beurdeley 及 Guy Raindre，《Qing Porcelain.
