Note: "嵌珐琅带盖鼎式炉（左）和白釉荷叶盖罐（右），两件文物表现了极为不同的风格，白釉荷叶盖罐是明太祖洪武年间制作，嵌珐琅带盖鼎式炉则是稍晚时期的制品，前者朴素，后者略显奢华，但是都表现出当时已经有极高的工艺水准。"
(a) "白釉荷叶盖罐 明洪武 国家一级文物"  南京博物院

So it is correct.
(b) "嵌珐琅带盖鼎式炉" is simply wrong.

(d) "古建筑专家路秉杰《天安门》一书中所述现存明宫城图两巨幅、内容、画法全同。今分藏在北、南京博物院，但藏在南京博物院的 '红袍官人' 旁有 '工部侍郎蒯详' 字样题名。而藏北京博物院者无此题名。首次公开的南京博物院藏《明宫城图》，十分难得地保留了蒯祥的画像。他一副红袍官人打扮，明古宫城图南京博物院藏，中间承天门，右侧穿红袍官员系蒯详身后是富丽的紫禁城建筑。历史学家顾颉刚考证说，此两画是写真、纪功画。有题字的画是献给皇帝的，故属官御，名讳；不题字的画是留给子孙的。此画应在北京及宫殿建成不久，蒯详在世时所绘。而北京宫殿城池1407—1420年所建时恰是蒯详的青壮年时期，定为实际规划设计和操作施工的负责人之一。路秉杰教授认为，此画是真正的新宫竣工图。"
