洪武釉裏紅,相較明初各類瓷器,罕存於世。繼元朝粗放雄壯、蒼勁有力之製瓷風格,明初,瓷器器形及紋飾則顯恭造之式,有制可循。本盌乃洪武釉裏紅典型,呈墩式,內繪四季折枝花卉,外繪纏枝花卉,內外口沿飾回紋,規整精妙。器形規整、樣式精緻,皆證其為洪武朝佳例。因明初限制對外貿易,進口鈷青料愈發難得,遂國產銅紅料作為其替代品得以更廣應用,此亦為明初瓷器一特徵。依劉新園言,洪武一朝,依先例,取其精華,加以更形,紅釉或釉裏紅瓷器於本朝多有燒製,蔚成體系,見《景德鎮出土明初官窰瓷器》,鴻禧美術館,台北,1996年,頁52。然銅料嬌火,正色之品存世甚罕。清宮藏釉裏紅例,飾紋仍多見不平整及色斑,又或因窰溫不當,發色泛黑,如清宮舊藏大盤,錄於王光堯及江建新編,《明代洪武永樂御窰瓷器:景德鎮御窰遺址出土與故宮博物院藏傳世瓷器對比》,故宮博物院,北京,2015年,編號17。如此種種,皆赫然證明銅料於窰燒時呈色之艱難。

此例所繪紋飾甚是少見,尤為悅目,其內壁分別繪折枝菊花、牡丹、茶花及石榴花,他例則多繪單種纏枝花卉,如菊花或牡丹。與此盌相類之罕例,可見一器,售於香港蘇富比1981年11月24日,編號132。另一相似盌例,器心繪折枝菊花,屬 Trevelyan 勳爵雅藏,出版於 John Addis,〈A Group of Underglaze Red〉,《Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society》,卷31,1957-59年,圖版1a。

相類之洪武盌例,可參考北京故宮博物院藏品,盌內壁繪纏枝菊花紋,內外口沿及圈足均繪回紋,或景德鎮御窰廠遺址出土青花盌例,兩器均載於王光堯及江建新編,前述出處,編號7-8。蘇富比曾拍出相類釉裏紅盌三例,如倫敦蘇富比1973年3月13日,編號232,此例後又兩度售於香港蘇富比,分別為1977年11月29日,編號27,以及1991年4月30日,編號9A;第二例為 J.F. Bloxham 及 Stephen Winkworth 舊藏,兩度售於倫敦蘇富比,分別為1933年4月26日,編號363,以及1974年12月2/3日,編號264,且於1974年之前,借展於維多利亞與艾伯特博物館;第三例售於香港蘇富比1999年11月1日,編號308,並錄於三上次男編,《世界陶磁全集》,卷13:遼、金、元,東京,1981年,彩圖82。還有一例,外口沿以卷草紋替代回紋,為坂本五郎舊藏,售於香港蘇富比2014年10月8日,編號3505。
