skilfully and finely potted, the body divided into twelve lobes and modelled with a bulbous central section sweeping up to a trumpet neck with a flaring mouth-rim with a lobed gilt outline of twelve bracket foliations, all supported on a short foot applied with a pale brownish-orange wash, the shoulder moulded with a beribonned pink sash tied at the centre and finely picked out in a darker pink with bats and ruyi cloud scrolls, reserved on the overall turquoise-enamelled ground decorated in multi-coloured enamels with stylised floral scrolls issuing curling leaves and tendrils, the turquoise base centred with a white cartouche enclosing an iron-red six-character seal mark

There is a tiny retouched section of approx 0.9 cm to the tip of the left sash of the ribbon. An approx 4 cm section of turquoise enamel at the outer mouth-rim has also been retouched (around 8 o'clock of the mark). There is also expected light surface wear and tiny enamel flakes.

此粉彩包袱紋瓷形飾出眾，雅致像生，為弘曆喜愛。景德鎮御窰瓷匠奉乾隆帝命，推陳創新，所製珍品標新立異，巧奪天工，本品正為佳例，尤合帝意。乾隆年間，御匠工藝更見嫻熟，材質出眾，所製瓷器，愈見雄心。本瓶精巧臻妙，令人驚嘆，乃像生瓷中之佳例精品。

乾隆年製之包袱紋瓷器，異常罕見，論器形、紋飾，本品舉世無雙，孤例也。相類飾有包袱紋之品，可參見北京故宮博物院收藏一松石綠地例，尺寸較小，錄於《清宮珍藏康雍乾瓷器圖錄》，香港，1989年，頁359，圖版40。另有一觚例，瓶口環飾如意雲頭紋，售於倫敦佳士得1999年6月15日，編號100。胡惠春家族舊藏粉彩粉地包袱紋蓋罐一對，也可資參考，售於紐約蘇富比1985年6月4日，編號72，後兩度易手於香港蘇富比，分別為1999年11月1日，編號400及2016年10月5日，編號3611。

此瓶所繪包袱紋，受啟發於日式傳統包袱布風呂敷，常見於日本漆器，例見一盒，展出於《東洋漆工芸》，東京，1977年，編號297。如此包袱裝飾，除瓷器外，有見於乾隆年製各式器物之上，例如北京故宮博物院藏金屬胎畫琺瑯彩黃地包袱紋罐，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。另可比較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。
