The overall condition is quite good, except for a short hairline crack of approx. 0.2 cm from the mouthrim. There is a minute underglazed dent to the outer rim, in addition to a few more to the exterior footring. There are also some surface wear to the interior well, minor kiln speckles and tiny trapped air bubbles. The actual colour is slightly more tinged with yellow than the catalogue illustration.

此盌外壁錐刻雙龍戲珠紋，其明朝帶嘉靖款例，藏台北故宮博物院，曾展於《瓷器上的龍紋特展》，台北，1983年，編號30。明萬曆晚期景德鎮御廠停產近60年，至清初康熙皇帝致力恢復御窰投入生產，單色釉是康熙御窰重投生產後首個發展的門類。此器釉色蔥翠鮮豔，比明朝綠釉更勝一籌。
