瓷胎掐絲琺瑯在造型設計、上釉燒造、硬度控制、打磨鑲嵌等操作難度遠遠高於銅胎，代表中國彩瓷器製造的最高工藝，是官窯中的官窯，其製作是由景德鎮燒製上好素白瓷送進宮中，再由宮中造辦處請宮廷畫師共同製作完成，因此瓷胎掐絲琺瑯器專供宮延皇室玩賞之用，不向外流傳，故而傳世稀少。

此件在瓷胎上以紫銅掐絲固定圖案，再填厚實、不透明的琺瑯礦物彩料，經過多次焙燒、研磨而成，琺瑯礦物彩料放大後觀之有雜質、沙眼，係因為低溫窯燒燒製，琺瑯彩都是標準清朝乾隆時期宮廷常見的色系和紋飾，全器手感溫潤如玉。
Copper filigree is used to fix the patterns on the ceramic, and the patterns are filled with thick, opaque enamel coloring, which is then fired numerous times and polished.
