清乾隆　御製銅胎畫琺瑯纏枝花卉圖雙耳小杯
「乾隆御製」楷書款
Compare with a similar painted enamel cup and saucer, Qianlong four-character mark and of the period, in the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in the Compendium of Collections of the Palace Museum: Enamels, 5, Beijing, 2011, pp.244-245, no.188.
The white enamelled 'pearls' crowning the handles emulate the jewelled mounts found on actual ritual cups. See for example a gold cup with pearls, made in the second year of the Jiaqing reign (1797), illustrated in Gugong zhenbao, Beijing, 2004, pp.80-81. A gold cup of similar shape and also with pearls atop the handles, Qing dynasty, is illustrated in Ibid., p.141.
杯侈口，筒腹，兩側飾夔形耳，雙耳上有珠飾，圈足。器壁以黃釉為地，彩繪纏枝花卉紋，上下加飾回紋及方框花紋一道，器內施淺粉色釉。底為白地，以藍彩書「乾隆御製」四字雙方框款。
比較清宮舊藏一套金胎畫琺瑯花卉紋杯盤，同書「乾隆御製」四字款，參見《故宮博物院藏品大系：琺瑯器編》，卷5，北京，2011年，頁244至245，編號188。杯耳頂端之白色「珠飾」，乃仿自禮儀用杯之鑲嵌裝飾。參考嘉慶二年（1797年）所製一例，著錄於《故宮珍寶》，北京，2004年，頁80至81；另見清代金杯一例，形制相類，杯耳頂端鑲有珍珠，見同書，頁141。
