宜興案頭雅器甚稀，此類陶仿異材質者，且配有紋飾一致之御製紫檀蓋盒，更是珍罕非凡，蓋盒鈐陳漢文印，陳氏文獻分散，且不完整。雖然嘉慶時編修的《宜興縣誌》提及：「陳漢文，雍正時人。或曰陳子畦之子。工制茗壺，配泥有特長，尤善鋪砂，製品渾樸妍巧不讓前輩。」見陸明華，前述出處，指出陳漢文與著名清代宜興陶匠陳鳴遠生平相似之處，論述其二或為一人，或為同輩親族，頁39。

雍乾二帝尤好器物仿摹創新，雍正偏好東洋漆作。可參考一漆盤例，錄於 Evelyn S. Rawski 及羅森編，《盛世華章》，英國皇家藝術學院，倫敦，2005年，圖版185。

包袱紋，近似於日式傳統包袱布風呂敷，有見於乾隆朝御窰廠所製各式器物之上，如瓷器、金屬胎畫琺瑯、掐絲琺瑯、 料器、木作及漆品。可比較一金屬胎畫琺瑯彩黃地包袱紋罐，無蓋，均署乾隆款， 其一藏北京故宮博物院，展於《Splendors of China's Forbidden City. The Glorious Reign of Emperor Qianlong》，菲爾德博物館，芝加哥，2004年，編號336；一松綠地粉色包袱紋尊，錄於《故宮珍藏康雍乾瓷器圖錄》，香港，1989年，圖版40。咸豐帝兄長恭忠親王奕訢舊藏乾隆料瓶，整體作黃地牡丹鳳紋包袱之形，瓶頸以粉色綬帶打結束之，先後入 A.W. Bahr 及 Paul and Helen Bernat 伉儷收藏，錄於莫士撝，《御製》，香港，1976年，圖版41，售於香港蘇富比1988年11月15日，編號77，現存香港藝術館，展於《盛世華章》，前述出處，編號99。同類漆盒，日本也有製作，見一例，曾展於《東洋漆工芸》，東京，1977年，編號297。

參考一件類同此件紫檀蓋盒之例，同為紫檀，淺浮雕仿古紋飾，展出於《金相玉質：清代宮廷包裝藝術》，澳門藝術博物館，澳門，2000年，編號47，同錄一件包袱式漆盒，編號161。
