There is a shallow flake to one iron-red flange. The integral iron-red stand has been reduced. There are some surface scratches and wear to the enamels and gilt decoration, but most of the original enamelling has been well preserved.

題識：
女夷裁冰作仙骨，色香淨洗水雲窟；
天風吹送洛浦春，虙妃小步瑶臺月。
金鈿掠鬢玉簪橫，向人不語如有情；
採芝皓腕渾不見，倚屏却坐羞銀檠。

清乾隆十七年（1752）《清宮內務府造辦處活計檔．江西燒造磁器處ꦡ》有錄：「交御製詩四套。傳旨：著賞唐英，嗣後燒造磁器，應用詩之處即用此詩撿選燒🌜造，不必用樂善堂詩文」。由此可推斷本瓶乃製於乾隆十七年或以前。
