馬克思·貝里（Max N. Berry）這批收藏中的唐三彩人物和雕塑的質量和珍惜度都十分引人注目，大部分帶有藍彩。這方面引領的傳承是英國的幾位傳奇經銷商，特別是John Berwald，Eskenazi等。這對藍釉仕女俑來自China Porcelain Company，是十分重要的早期紐約經銷商，同樣擁有值得信賴的中國高古藝術品位和水準。

此類器物來自級別至少為皇家的墓葬，唐三彩發現百年以來，經歷了西方的震撼和追捧後，在80年代末期達到頂峰。隨後在明清官窯流行的中國藏家氣氛中再度被埋沒，近期有趨勢的變動，相信唐三彩正處於觸底反彈的階段。目前3-5萬美元的估價仍然屬於絕對低位。（SACA觀察，2026.09.16）
