The seal 大 清 乾 隆 年 製 under its base translating as Da Qing Qianlong Nian Zhi or "Made in the great Qing dynasty, reign of Qianlong"

Its red iron or coral appearance is typical of this reign where amber colors were highlighted. The taste of its rich, floral-patterned decoration is inspired by lotus flowers in spring, although its color recalls autumn.
