碗口微撇，弧腹，圈足，口沿外壁、腹底与圈足间绘青花双圈纹一周。碗外壁及碗心均以斗彩工艺作忍冬纹装饰，底足内书青花“大清雍正年制”六字楷书款。该品绘画流畅，构图舒展，衬以温润细腻的胎釉，颇具戗窑之美。忍冬纹是古代瓷器上常见的装饰纹样，是“金银花”的变形图案，具有延年益寿吉祥之美好寓意。
The bowl has a slightly everted rim, rounded sides and a ring foot. Double underglaze-blue line borders encircle the exterior below the rim, the lower body, and the area above the foot. Both the exterior and the centre of the interior are decorated in the doucai technique with honeysuckle scrolls. The interior of the foot is inscribed in underglaze blue with the six-character mark in regular script: “Da Qing Yongzheng nian zhi” — “Made in the Yongzheng reign of the Great Qing dynasty.”
The painting is fluid, and the composition is open and graceful. Set against the warm, finely textured body and glaze, the decoration has the refined beauty characteristic of imperial wares. Honeysuckle scroll is a common decorative motif on early Chinese ceramics. Derived from the form of the honeysuckle flower, it carries the auspicious meaning of longevity and good fortune.
