鬪彩盤色彩明艷，大器珍罕，番蓮卷葉紋繁複綺麗，珍稀少見，屬雍正御窰之創新，胤禎尚古，授命瓷匠復燒前朝名瓷，再現經典。此盤紋飾，蓮瓣艷紅，嬌蕊綴明黃、鮮綠，取材成化瓷，明例可見於一成化鬪彩團蓮紋高足盃，曾為吳賚熙、卡爾肯普博士及玫茵堂遞藏，售於香港蘇富比2011年10月5日，編號28。綠彩卷葉紋相若西洋莨苕葉紋，反映清代中西文化交流之密切。

盤上番蓮無青花輪廓，異於傳統鬪彩瓷，但以纖利礬紅細線勾勒，相應釉下青花柔和線條，對比強烈奪目。東京國立博物館藏一件近類瓷盤，展出於《中国明清美術展目錄》，1963年，東京，編號413。台北鴻禧美術館藏一盤，錄於史彬士，《中國歷代陶瓷選集》，台北，1990年，圖版135。W.G.
