爐圓口，束頸，矮圓腹，雙龍銜活環耳，三獅首獸足。爐腹與器蓋淺雕雙龍戲珠紋。蓋頂鈕圓雕大小獅戲球。玉質碧綠半透，帶深綠及淺褐沁。此器雕雙龍戲珠紋，為清代流行的宮廷紋飾，為同期翠玉三足爐中較少見的設計，常見的是爐腹雕仿古獸面紋或光素。該器的雙龍活環耳、獅形蓋鈕與本爐相若。翡翠於明代由緬甸傳入中國，當時人們不認為翡翠是玉，價格低廉。至十八世紀乾隆時期，翡翠漸獲認識及重視，更成為貴重的珍玩、身份的象徵。據《滇海虞衡志》記載：「玉出南金沙江，距州二千餘裏，中多玉。夷人采之，撇出江岸各成堆。粗礦外護，大小如鵝卵石狀，不知其中有玉並玉之美惡與否。估客隨意買之，運至大理及滇省，背有作玉坊。解之見翡翠，平地暴富矣。」但「在康雍朝，尚未敢歷險廠地。到乾隆初元，玉石廠始有漢人足跡。」此器經香港玉石鑒定中心測試，證實為天然翠玉質。
