唐三彩細犬是十分罕見的作品，岡田美術館有一件來自浦上蒼穹堂的三彩狗，尺寸較大，不知是否會在2025年11月21日岡田博物館的蘇富比專場拍賣中出現。假如有，勢必將影響這件唐三彩黃釉犬的價格。
Tri-coloured (sancai) pottery figures of dogs from the Tang dynasty are exceedingly rare. The Okada Museum of Art holds a notable example, formerly in the Uragami Sokyudo collection, which is of larger size. It remains uncertain whether this piece will appear in the Sotheby’s Okada Museum sale scheduled for 21 November 2025. Should it do so, its presence would likely have a significant impact on the market perception and valuation of the present amber-glazed Tang sancai hound.

精細塑造，四足穩立於長方形座上，形態生動自然。犬首微昂，吻部細長，雙耳後卷，雙目圓睜，尾巴細長上捲，肌理線條刻畫明確。全身施以濃郁的琥珀色釉，間以米色釉斑點綴交融，色調溫潤柔和。底部未施釉，露出淺赭色陶胎。附盒。長14.5公分（約5¾英寸）。
此類犬像體現唐代雕塑的寫實與生動特質，造型源於當時備受珍視的「細狗」（xigou，「瘦長之犬」），以敏捷的速度與卓越的視覺聞名，自古即為狩獵與陪葬的象徵。此類犬像不僅見於陶塑，如本品所示，亦常出現在唐代帝王陵墓壁畫之中。
可比較一件出土於河南洛陽唐墓的例子，見《中國文物精華大全》（香港，1995年），頁160，圖版547；另可參考東京國立博物館藏一例，見《東京國立博物館圖錄・中國陶瓷卷一》（東京，1988年），頁56，圖版214。紐約大都會藝術博物館藏有一件唐代七至八世紀白釉綠彩犬像（館藏號29.18），與本品在體態比例與釉色表現上相互呼應。

Hounds of this type, valued for their keen eyesight and speed, have enjoyed enduring popularity in China since early times. Known as xigou (literally 'slender dogs'), they appear not only in ceramic form, as in the present example, but also in the murals of Imperial Tang tombs. For a comparable figure excavated from a tomb in Luoyang, Henan, see Zhongguo wenwu jinghua daquan, 中國文物精華大全 (Complete Collection of Chinese Culture), Hong Kong, 1995, p.160, no.547; and for another example, see Illustrated Catalogues of Tokyo National Museum, Chinese Ceramics 1, Tokyo, 1988, p.56, no.214. Compare also with a white and green-glazed hound, 7th/8th century, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (acc.no.29.18).
