檬黃釉是以氧化銻爲主要呈色劑的低溫色釉，比傳統的黃釉較爲鮮明亮黃，釉面更加勻淨柔，厚潤而不透明，由於釉色與檸檬的色澤相似，故有「檸檬黃」之稱。雍正年間瓷匠所創的檸檬黃釉瓷則可供宮廷各場合運用，閒來把玩，賞心悅目，正如雍正十三年唐英撰《陶成紀事碑》所載，「歲例供御」瓷器的五十七種彩、釉，其中「西洋黃色器皿」所指便是檸檬黃釉瓷器，每年燒製以供宮廷所用。單色釉品種以雍正朝爲最，而檸檬黃釉則以雍正御窯爲最首，連乾隆時期的瓷匠亦以雍正檸檬黃釉器作爲燒製的藍本。雍正年間所制之黃釉小高足杯極爲罕見，拍品小巧俊秀，敞口，深弧腹，喇叭形高足起凸弦紋，胎體較薄，內壁施白釉，外壁檸檬黃釉，純淨嬌嫩，明麗奪目，晶瑩透亮，底部「大清雍正年制」款識，字體清秀工整，神韻雅緻俱存。
