此白玉三足蓋爐，爐頂琢太獅少獅，寓意代代仕途亨達，其玉質光潔，尺寸巨碩，極為珍稀。其雕工精美，拋光細膩滑潤，足見玉料上承。造型素樸，僅於爐耳及爐頂精雕瑞獸，彰顯玉質純色。和闐、葉爾羌盛產美玉，十八世紀清軍平定西北，巨碩玉料源源流入中原。乾隆愛好和闐玉，常製御詩咏之，並鐫刻於玉器上。
宋代玉器形制仿上古青銅器，續至清代，工匠雖逐古韻，但時有創新。此三足蓋爐形仿商周銅鼎。有一形制相類但尺寸較小之近例，蓋鈕雕雙獅，售於紐約蘇富比2008年3月18日，編號32；另一例售於紐約蘇富比1967年4月27/28日，編號297；倫敦蘇富比亦售一近例，1998年11月18日，編號926；還有一例爐頂琢狻猊，爐耳作獅頭鋪首銜環，原為蘇林庵珍藏，售於倫敦蘇富比1995年10月31日，編號331。亦可參考一件類同翡翠蓋爐，出自靜觀堂收藏，售於香港佳士得1996年11月3日，編號610。
