本壺器身杏圓開光，上飾龍紋強健威猛, 開光微拱，更感立體，反映十八世紀帝皇品味。正面祥龍紋飾於雍正年間起流行，因其彰顯天子權位，亦深受乾隆帝青睞。
本品器形及紋飾，取靈感自工藝經典，顯示清朝天子慕古追遠之情。藝匠以點染積釉技法點飾圖紋，以傚十五世紀青花結晶黑斑；壺身扁圓，開光微拱，啟發自明代原形，而後者又取靈感自中東金屬器。
本品甚為罕有，僅有數例可比；德國希爾德斯海姆儸埃默 博物館收藏一例，連原配瓷蓋及壺耳，錄於Ulrich Wiesner，《 Chinesisches Porzellan》，美因茨，1981年，圖版70；另一對例售於香港蘇富比2001年5月1日，編號537。伊斯坦堡托普卡帕宮博物館收藏一例，出自奧斯曼皇室典藏，壺耳已失，載於康蕊君，《Chinese Ceramics in the Topkapi Saray Museum, Istanbul》，倫敦，1986年，卷3，圖版2566。
本壺鑲銅，蓋紋飾細緻，線條豐腴配合執壺器型，或曾屬中東收藏。比較三執斷代晚明壺例，一壺飾翼龍，其餘飾花卉紋，載於康蕊君，《Chinese Ceramics in the Topkapi Saray Museum, Istanbul》，倫敦，1986年，卷2，圖版1017-1019。
