江崖海水紋是明早期青花瓷器上常見的紋飾,至宣德此紋飾已由襯底的陪襯紋樣變為主紋飾,且水波漸轉淘湧,有別於前朝簡約。此器上海浪紋中間以挺立的岩石相間,為「江崖海水」紋,象徵西王母的蓬萊仙島,最早見於永樂青花瓷器上。「江崖海水」紋象徵福山壽海、江山大業之吉祥意願。

英國學者Margaret Medley認為,台階式圈足始於宣德晚期,間歇延用至成化年間。

渣斗源自古青銅尊,經過時代的演變,渣斗的口沿變得更為外撇,器腹較為嬌小。渣斗又稱唾壺,但確實用途,有待查考。此器形始見於十五世紀,近年被重新定代的鈞窰器中,也有相同的器形,美國舊金山亞洲藝術博物館藏品,見He Li,《Chinese Ceramics》,倫敦,1996年,頁152,圖版246。明正德朝瓷器也見此類器形,一件黃地綠彩龍紋渣斗,見前註,Jessica Harrison-Hall,圖版8:32。
