拍品資料及來源
成化以降，御瓷燒造驟減，是以弘治一朝，任何種類之青花瓷也出奇的罕見。除此品外，過去僅四盤曾售於拍賣，皆飾龍紋，全經由蘇富比拍出，包括：Hay 氏收藏之盤，售於倫敦1946年6月25日，編號46；Eumorfopoulos 舊藏之器，倫敦1940年5月29日，編號212；另外兩盤分別售於倫敦1963年12月3日，編號103及香港1997年4月29日，編號548。
中國瓷器甚少以梔子花為飾，幾乎僅見此圖案布局。梔子花清麗脫俗，芳香馥郁，雖無吉祥寓意，然深受古代仕女喜愛。其用途廣泛，如簪於髮間、入茶浸泡，或作妝粉原料。梔子花果實加工後可調出黃色或橘色染料，亦可入藥。
此盤上圖樣多見於黃地青花器，例可對比大維德爵士舊藏例，1968年10月15日售於倫敦蘇富比，編號108，後入琵金頓珍藏，近又於香港蘇富比2017年4月5日拍出，編號2。還可參考另一玫茵堂舊藏，原屬瑞滋家族雅蓄，圖見康蕊君，前述出處，卷4，編號1674，後售於香港蘇富比2011年4月7日，編號57。且參考玫茵堂藏正德及嘉靖黃地青花盤，見康蕊君，前述出處，卷2，編號683 及684。
