玉爐上阿拉伯文概譯：
萬物非主，唯有真主，默罕默德爲主之使者。
萬物非主，唯有真主，默罕默德爲主之使者。
玉爐飾阿拉伯文者，較為珍罕，此類紋飾多見於銅器、瓷器。如見一銅爐作例，曾售於香港蘇富比2012年4月4日、編號143。另見一銅鼎，展於《China’s Renaissance in Bronze: The Robert H. Clague Collection of Later Chinese Bronzes 1100-1900》，鳳凰城藝術博物館，鳳凰城，1993年，編號25，書中認爲其屬當時內需所製。亦可參考一瓷爐例，圓形開光，內書阿拉伯文，見《陶磁大系．卷42：明の染付》，東京，1975年，圖版59。
