拍品資料及來源
此瓶花果紋精美異常，亦可見於同時代瓷器紋飾。例如瓶頸所飾「壽」字紋，線條流暢，形如茂樹，見於北京故宮藏一嘉靖款五彩盤，錄於《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集．五彩．鬥彩》，香港，1999 年，頁19，編號18。
該紋樣亦見於嘉靖法華瓷，見兩例象耳瓶，肩部同見如意紋，售於倫敦佳士得，其一於1972年11月20日，編號60；其二於1980年7月14日，編號173。另見一銅花果紋象耳瓶，售於倫敦蘇富比，1982年6月15日，編號123。
此瓶乃典型嘉靖年間藝術風格，紋飾結合道教圖像，意在保佑物主遠離惡運，子孫繁盛，長命百歲。此類吉祥紋飾中，石榴，荔枝與蓮子果實繁多，象徵多子；桃樹與梅子樹枝幹彎曲形似「壽」字，象徵長壽。
