宋代(960-1279)定窯瓷向以凝潤素白之釉色澤聞名天下,乾隆年間(1736-1795)官窯以之作為範,特別燒製出一系列「仿定窯」器。本品為當中佼佼者,其浮彫紋飾異常精美,刻畫處處細緻入微,如白鶴纖豪畢現之羽毛、壽桃成熟而生之小點、麋鹿口含自然若真之靈芝、環繞瓶足之翻湧海波等。本品設計鮮明奪目,極具立體感,為清初瓷器罕有之作,應屬孤品。

本品紋飾富有吉祥寓意。傳說鶴能活至千歲,其白色羽毛為長壽之象徵,故本品亦以白釉作主色調。白鶴、壽桃象徵「鶴壽延年」。白鶴、靈芝亦呼應長生之祝願。鹿鶴諧音「六合」,意味婚姻和睦、萬物滋潤之美景。

清代瓷匠首創以滑石粉代替高嶺土作為瓷胎原料,故能以較低温度焙燒器物,防止變形,而所得之白釉色澤圓潤,適用於新設計及仿定窯器。本品與相類之白釉瓷器,均經此嶄新工序所製成。
