拍品資料及來源
本品綠釉鳳首壺，受薩珊王朝金屬器啟發，並經改變以迎合中國審美品位，其器形及紋飾取材中東金屬器，而鳳首、如意開光、如意紋飾等，均屬中國傳統，反映唐初貿易文化交流成果，具此時期藝術典型特色，尤為珍罕。
鳳首壺，珍珠地貼獸面紋者，甚為罕見，而通體施綠釉者，則更屬稀珍。可參考一三彩例，紋飾相同，售倫敦蘇富比1993年12月7日，編號 139；箱根美術館收藏一例，無珍珠地，圖載繭山龍泉堂，《龍泉集芳》，東京，1976年，卷1，圖版233；另一例載於平野龍治, 《古陶軒撰華》，大阪，1988年，圖版40；第四例出自 George Eumorfopoulos 收藏，現藏於倫敦大英博物館，圖見 R.L. Hobson，《 The Eumorfopoulos Collection》，卷1，倫敦，1925年，彩色圖版L，圖389；再比一例，售於倫敦蘇富比1993年11月7日，編號139。西安陝西省博物館亦收藏一例，壺身飾花卉紋，圖見《Out of China’s Earth: Archaeological Discoveries in the People’s Republic of China》，倫敦，1981年，圖版244；另見一例，飾珍珠地，現藏於蘭州市甘肅省博物館，載於《中國文物精華大全：陶瓷卷》，香港，1993年，頁126，圖版440。
學者 Margaret Medley 論述，因隋朝煬帝與波斯薩珊王朝建交，促成兩國互通，互供珍品國禮，如此往來交流，對後世影響深遠，唐代工匠亦受啟發，波斯藝匠更因而遠赴唐都長安，進入當時唐朝宮廷，詳見《Metalwork and Chinese Ceramics》，倫敦，1972年，頁4。
