乾隆朝似本品之仿哥釉六方貫耳瓶實屬鳳毛麟角，惟見數例乾隆朝茶葉末釉及青花同形制瓶器。然可資比對者，唯2009年4月8日於香港蘇富比釋出的一件乾隆款同類作品，編號1651。此式瓶器之靈感，當源自雍正朝一件尺寸較大的官釉瓶，現藏於北京故宮博物院，見《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集·顏色釉》，香港，1999年，圖版204；另見兩例分別於2005年11月28日及2004年4月26日經香港佳士得售出，編號1316及1052。

同形制之茶葉末釉乾隆瓶一件亦資參考，曾屬霍爾家族舊藏，並參展牛津阿什莫林博物館1988年《Iron in the Fire》特展，後於2000年5月2日經香港蘇富比釋出，編號556。尺寸較大的一例現存東京出光美術館，見《出光美術館藏中國陶瓷》，東京，1987年，圖版965。另可比較香港中文大學文物館2007年《澄懷觀道：懷海堂藏清代御窯瓷瓶》展覽中一件乾隆款青釉之例，見展覽圖錄，編號50；以及上海博物館藏一件青花例，載於《清宮瓷器萃珍》，上海，2003年，圖版238。
