直頸長頎、溜肩、扁鼓腹，底承圈足，底部正中落“大清乾隆年制”六字篆書款。器形飽滿端正，重心下移，愈顯豐腴大方。整器通體施茶葉末釉，釉質潤澤，釉色勻凈而深沉。此器瓶為清宮瓷器燒造的傳統形制之一，始於康熙朝，而尤盛於乾隆。因器形似荸薺而得名。此瓶造型端莊規整，釉質釉色靜穆，盡顯大氣雅緻。清代茶葉末釉製品多為景德鎮官窯所燒，傳世品中，以雍正和乾隆時期最多見，並以乾隆時的燒製最為成功。可參考一尊大小一致的清乾隆茶葉末瓶，成交價$247,500, 拍品號1245，佳士得紐約2017年3月16日；另一尊成交價港幣1687500, 蘇富比香港2017年10月，拍品號3665。文獻記載類似乾隆款茶葉末瓶可參考R.
