Fish ( 魚) are a long-established auspicious motif in Chinese art, their imagery operating through both visual symbolism and linguistic punning. As a homophone for (餘, 'surplus'), fish swimming in water convey wishes for abundance and ease, often encapsulated in the phrase ('may there be surplus year after year'). When the fish are identifiable as carp, the imagery also carries a more aspirational resonance, alluding to the well-known legend of the carp swimming upstream and leaping the Dragon Gate, thereby transforming into a dragon. This narrative, emblematic of perseverance rewarded with transformation and success, was frequently invoked within the cultured environment of the scholar's studio, where it served as a discreet metaphor for intellectual endeavour and advancement through effort.
The surrounding subsidiary motifs, including objects such as a rhinoceros-horn cup and an artemisia leaf, may be understood as elements drawn from the broader repertoire of the Eight Treasures ( 八寶), a flexible assemblage of auspicious emblems signifying cultivated taste, longevity, and prosperity, reinforcing the object's function as both a utilitarian implement and a bearer of auspicious meaning.
Compare with the carving of carp on waves on a cinnabar lacquer double-tier box and cover with fish and flower design, Qianlong, in the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in , Hong Kong, 2006, p.26, no.16. More carvings of carp and dragons can be found on a green and cinnabar lacquer three-tier box and cover, mid Qing dynasty, in the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in ., p.99, no.68.
魚為祥瑞之徵，因諧音「餘」，寄寓豐足安和、年年有餘之願。若所繪為鯉魚，則更添奮進之志，以鯉躍龍門之典故寓意勤勉得償、功成名就，深契文人書齋雅趣，暗喻治學進取之道；輔以八寶紋，如犀角杯、艾葉等，象徵雅趣、長壽與富足。此洗既為實用器，亦載有吉祥含義。
其雕刻風格可比較清宮舊藏一件乾隆朝剔紅落花游魚嵌玉磬式雙層盒，見《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集：清代漆器》，香港，2006年，頁26，編號16。另見一件清中期剔綠加彩龍紋盒，見同書，頁99，編號68。
