专家说明

According to Howard and Ayers the design on this teapot was copied from a European orginal by Pater and is commonly known as 'The Bird Seller', although the meaning of the image is more allegorical.
See Hervouët and Bruneau, La Porcelaine des Compagnies des Indes à Décor Occidental, Paris, 1986, p. 90, fig. 4.26 for a teabowl and saucer of this design.
