本器采用上等和田白玉和碧玉制成，材質絕佳，白玉白若凝脂，溫潤細膩； 碧玉色如翡翠，清涼瑩潤，寶光十足。帽架由帽傘、柱身、玉托、底座四部分組成，且四部分皆分體制作完成後再組合為一體。帽傘呈半球形，浮雕對稱“螭龍紋”“如意雲紋”，紋飾刻畫細致，排列規矩，嚴謹工整。中部碧玉柱身被竹節狀白玉托分作兩部分，白玉托浮雕 “勾雲紋”。兩部分碧玉柱身皆填金陰刻禦題詩文。“清明時節宜種樹，拱把稚松培植看。 欲速成非關插柳，挹清芬亦異滋蘭。育材自合求貞幹，絜矩因之思任官。待百十年詎雲遠，童童應備後人觀。丁未禦題”；“春仲時和日漸長，靜明試一賞煙光。林泉又有隔年別，俯仰能無七字償。桃已酣英杏彈蕾，松知含翠柏增蒼。輕陰欲釀崇朝雨，益善寧辭望眼忙。丁未禦題”。底座為碧玉制成，上鑲嵌“勾雲紋”白玉璧，飾有六足，帶有六邊開窗，嵌如意雲紋白玉片，內浮雕”勾雲紋“。整器取材優良，造型莊重，布局嚴謹，雕刻一絲不茍，等級非凡。可參考大英博物館藏類似詩文白玉帽冠架。
