The mouthrim has four hairlines, including a 1 cm one at 11 o'clock, 5.5 cm to 12 o'clock both visible on both the exterior and interior, as well as two other restored ones of 3 cm and 0.8 cm at approx 10 o'clock and 7 o'clock respectively. The mouthrim has other small areas which have been slightly restored, possibly to stabilise the fritting. The bowl is covered with fine glaze crackles, probably filled in with wax. The glaze surface has some wear. The actual colour is slightly paler and more tinged with brown than the catalogue illustration.

景德鎮珠山東門頭出土相若青花盌例，但其口沿微敞，或因窰燒失誤，致釉色泛黃，青料發黑，參考《景德鎮出土明初官窰瓷器》，鴻禧美術館，台北，1996年，編號14。
