筆筒細繪山水秋色，鈐黃玉麟（約1842-1914年）印。羅桂祥，《The Stonewares of Yixing. From the Ming Period to the Present Day》，倫敦，1986年，頁149、153提及，黃氏出身蘇州，道光一朝秀才，乃文人製陶名家，深受吳大瀓等士人學者推崇，黃氏製壺最是盛名，據李景康及張虹，《陽羨砂壺圖考》，香港，1937年，頁39，一壺可售得一兩黃金，參考一壺，印款與此一玫，錄於羅桂祥，前述出處，圖版59。

黃玉麟所製文房珍玩，較茶壺更罕，而如斯尺寸寬大之筆筒，更是難得，堆料加彩飾綴山水，圖上承乾隆年間匠人雅風，或受楊季効之啓迪。北京故宮博物院藏一楊季効款宜興堆料山水紋筆筒，可資比較，見《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集．紫砂器》，香港，2008年，頁145，圖版115，另有一器，帶乾隆款，但明顯同出一匠，頁143，圖版113。
