明洪武釉裏紅瓷,乃明初江西景德鎮官窯所製瓷器中難得一見之物。洪武在位期間,釉裏紅成為重要釉色。據景德鎮陶瓷考古所專家劉新園記述,燒製釉裏紅過程相當困難,成功率甚低,故官窯以系統形式大批燒製,百中取一,詳見劉氏《景德鎮珠山出土明初永樂官窯瓷研究》一文,《景德鎮出土明初官窯瓷器》,台北,1996年,頁52。明初三十年間,景德鎮陶瓷圖案依然以花卉紋為主,或以環飾遍絕全器,如本品為例。劉氏一文頁52指出,明代陶瓷紋飾主題不及元代豐富多彩、畫工亦略欠生動流暢,然洪武年製瓷器另具特色,有空前絕後之獨立風格。

北京故宮清宮舊藏一相關作例,錄於《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集青花釉裏紅》,卷1,上海,2000年,圖版197;東京國立博物館藏一例,刊於《Oriental Ceramics. The World's Great Collections》,卷1,東京,1982年,圖版112。另一作例繪纏枝牡丹紋,紋飾下同見不規則的釉裂開片,與本品可能同出一瓷匠之手,售於倫敦蘇富比1990年6月12日,編號209。
