匜,為日常重要盛水器皿,有銀等金屬例,也有瓷例如龍泉青瓷、白釉、青花、釉裏紅、藍釉者。何翠媚曾指出,在考古發掘中,匜常伴隨玉壺春瓶或酒盃出土,而赤峰市出土的一座蒙元時期墓葬壁畫也描繪了僕人把液體從匜中倒入玉壺春瓶的情景,見〈Social Life Under the Mongols as Seen in Ceramics〉,《Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society》,卷59,1994-5年,頁 44。

此匜之形,或源自金屬器。安徽合肥窖藏發現之銀匜,與本品十分相似,伴隨出土的還有一銀玉壺春瓶。該窖藏出土物中,有飾八思巴文者,且紀年至順癸酉(1333年)。安徽省博物館藏合肥窖藏出土瓶及匜各一,同上註,頁287f,圖330-31。
