同類的蓋盌在傳世品中少見，非常珍罕。傳世品共著錄只五件，除本對外，一件單盌為上海文物商店所藏，見《清代瓷器鑑賞》，上海，1994年，圖259。另二件香港蘇富比於1980年5月20日拍賣，編號237；後復現於香港佳士得2012年5月30日拍賣，編號4001。

此對蓋盌小巧別緻，敞口、斜腹、圈足。裝飾清雅簡潔，口沿施金彩，器外壁上下繪飾粉彩描金夔龍壽字紋一周，取代常見的如意雲頭紋，彰顯出嘉慶朝的時代特色。中間留白處以墨書寫嘉慶皇帝御題詩文：「佳茗頭綱貢，澆詩月必團。竹爐添活火，石銚沸驚湍。魚蟹眼徐漂，旗槍影細攢。一甌清興足，春盎避輕寒」，描繪了深秋寒夜皇帝品覽新茶之情景。文後落「嘉慶丁巳小春月之中澣御製」款，下鈐圓形「嘉」、方形「慶」朱文連珠印章。底為「大清嘉慶年製」六字篆書款，篆法精美，蓋部裝飾亦然，上下一致。所書御製茶詩齊整均衡排列，書體為清隽規整之館閣體小楷，筆畫工整隽秀，書寫一絲不茍，胎釉潔白細膩，粉彩婉約雅致，金彩純正妍俏、清新。溫和蘊含富麗，沉穩中亦不失和諧，極盡考究之能事，尤顯雍容高雅、令人賞心悅目、愛不釋手，此器亦可當文房重器，又是瓷器中少有成對罕見精品，實為嘉慶皇帝御製品茗之極品雅器。

嘉慶皇帝自幼深受乾隆皇帝的影響，一生鍾情茗茶，以致有清一代，於官窰瓷器上書寫御製詩文為飾僅見其父子二人。乾隆者所作御製詩文裝飾于多種器形之上，且入飾的詩文數目廣多，而嘉慶者僅見於茶具（茶壺、茶杯、茶盤），詩文數量也只是一首，本品正是其中最為珍罕的一例。嘉慶皇帝有清晨飲茶的習慣，也喜歡御窰燒製的題詩茶具。他通過此盌上的詩，表達了他對宮廷御造新茶極為褒賞的感受，更分享了他煮茶、觀茶、品茶的經過。嘉慶皇帝品茶、御題茶詩的習慣，應來自他父親乾隆皇帝。
