此梅瓶繪龍鳳呈祥，穿梭纏枝牡丹之間，紋樣布局妙似十四世紀青花所飾。龍首與華葩，雙雙呼應，其身軀弧曲，又與蔓枝延莖共鳴，尤為悅目。相類梅瓶，可參見 John Buchanan-Jardine 爵士所藏，曾展於《國際中國藝術展》，倫敦皇家美術學院，1935年，編號2177。香港蘇富比曾售一例，1979年11月24日，編號266。倫敦佳士得也售一例，見1976年4月5日，編號96。尺寸較小之瓶，則可參考曾售於香港蘇富比1995年10月31日之例，編號512，或1996年12月17日於倫敦蘇富比拍出者，編號153。倫敦蘇富比且售一瓶，卻較此品為高，2006年7月12日，編號128。清宮故藏有一瓶例，瓶肩略寬，足部環飾蓮瓣紋，現蓄北京故宮博物院，錄於《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集：五彩．鬪彩》，香港，1999年，圖版237。

元朝執壺，有繪飾穿花鳳紋者，參考朱裕平，《元代青花瓷》，上海，2000年，圖版22。
