龍紋長頸瓶,瓶腹飽滿,器頸轉折柔潤修長,繪五爪飛龍,氣勢萬千,穿梭繁花折枝地,器形碩大無比,將乾隆帝的思古之情,華麗雄渾之品味,納於一身。游龍穿花,躍於瓷上,源於十五世紀青花瓷,雍正一朝始見復作,至乾隆時期加以精製。龍紋乃中國瓷器及工藝品最重要之紋飾,象徵帝王及皇權,此瓶鈷藍發色濃豔,紋飾強而有力,以堆疊法畫製,仿傚早明青花瓷深濃帶黑斑效果,反映出當時瓷匠的高超技術。

穿蓮龍紋可見於明永樂朝天球瓶,此時龍紋較大,至正德朝,龍紋略小,與本品之飾相近,纏枝花地則更為密緻,作於各式器形,包括瓷瓶、盤、盌等,紋飾近類此瓶。長頸膽瓶,多施單色釉,但清代匠人取其器形,卻繪穿花龍紋,展時代之風。比較一永樂天球瓶,售於倫敦蘇富比1974年4月1/2日,編號187;另有一件正德渣斗,錄於康蕊君,《玫茵堂中國陶瓷》,倫敦,1994年,卷2,圖版686,售於香港蘇富比,2011年4月7日,編號60。

此龍紋長頸膽瓶,紋飾濃麗,五龍遊戲纏枝卷花間,極為珍稀,未見他例有錄。一件同形瓶例,繪釉裏紅龍紋,青花花卉紋地,綴如意蓮瓣紋,頸繪蕉葉紋,現藏北京故宮博物院,錄於《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集.青花釉裏紅(下)》,香港,2000年,圖版209,同錄另有一件雍正瓷罐,繪四龍於花卉紋間,圖版89。見一雍正原型,器型稍小,售於香港蘇富比2015年4月7日,編號108。

本品屬乾隆年間燒製之瓶款,器身如梨,瓶頸修長,廣見於世界各地重要博物館及收藏,每款紋飾獨一無二。一瓶繪山水人物,清宮舊藏,存於北京故宮博物院,出處同上,圖版119。另一花卉紋款,兩度售於香港蘇富比,1978年11月9日,編號97及1981年11月25日,編號224。

膽瓶器形雅麗,乾隆朝續燒而多作單色釉瓷,如南京博物院藏一件大型窰變釉膽瓶,載於《宮廷珍藏:中國清代官窰瓷器》,上海,2003年,頁345;另見一例,北京故宮博物院藏,載於《中國清代官窰瓷器》,上海,2003年,圖版345;還有一件窰變釉瓶,綴描金花卉紋,清宮舊藏,載於《故宮珍藏康雍乾瓷器圖錄》,香港,1989年,頁393,圖版74。
