拍品資料及來源
本品三彩紋飾所用鈷藍料採自中東，另施褐黃釉，Ernest S. Heller 與 Stanley Herzman舊藏一件類例，圖見Suzanne Valenstein，《The Herzman Collection of Chinese Ceramics》，香港，1992年，圖版6，售於倫敦蘇富比1981年11月6日，編號161，現藏紐約大都會博物館；另一例出自三藩市亞洲藝術博物館，見賀利，《Chinese Ceramics》， 1996年，圖版166；第三例屬思源堂珍藏，售於倫敦蘇富比2005年9月21日，編號16。學者Margaret Medley論述，隋朝（公元581-618年）煬帝與波斯薩珊王朝（公元224-651年）建交，促成兩國互呈珍品，波斯藝匠更因而遠赴唐都長安（今陝西省西安），詳見《Metalwork and Chinese Ceramics》倫敦，1972年，頁4。如此交流，對後世影響深遠，唐代工匠亦受其啟發；書中載錄一件鳳首執壺，紋飾與本品相同，圖版3b，幾件陶鳥首執壺，圖版3a、2a及1b，一件薩珊銀執壺，圖版1a。此類執壺，或為行旅所用，掛於駝峰上，可參考關林發掘之墓葬出土一件駱駝塑像，《洛陽唐三彩》，北京，1980年，圖版80。
