在汉代以前的酒壶没有流和把手，东汉以后开始出现有流有把的壶。随后，各个朝代的酒壶都不一样，唐代短流、双排圆条的把手，腹部呈饱满圆润造型。到了宋代，执壶就讲究很多了，这些执壶就与品位、修养联系起来了。
Before the Han Dynasty, wine pots did not have flow and handles, but after the Eastern Han Dynasty, pots with flow and handles began to appear. Subsequently, the wine pots of different dynasties were different, with short flowing, double row round handles in the Tang Dynasty, and a full and round belly shape. In the Song Dynasty, there was a lot of emphasis on holding pots, which were related to taste and cultivation.
执壶，最初的造型是由青铜器而来。在南北朝早期的青瓷当中，已经完成了这种执壶的造型。其后在唐宋两代以后是金银器中的一种酒具。现代，执壶是人们日常生活中的饮茶用。
The initial shape of the holding pot was derived from bronze ware. In the early celadon of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the shape of holding a pot was already completed. Afterwards, after the Tang and Song dynasties, it was a type of wine vessel used in gold and silver vessels. In modern times, holding a teapot is used for drinking tea in people's daily lives.

Our company recently solicited a "Qianlong year made gilded gourd holding pot", with a height of 23cm and a bottom diameter of 6.4cm. According to research, one of the ancient metal decoration techniques of gilding metal, which was called "fire gilding" in modern times, appeared during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. By the Han Dynasty, it was known as "yellow coating" or "gold coating". Gilding was essentially a combination of gold and mercury as a gold tribute, applied to the surface of copper, Heating causes the mercury to evaporate and ultimately causes the gold to adhere to the surface without shedding. This vessel is in the shape of a gourd, with a straight mouth, a short neck, and an outward curling ring foot. It has a long curved flow and a dragon head shaped crank, with a hemispherical lid.

The pot body is surrounded by various colored gemstones. The vessel has a rich and plump shape, elegant and elegant, and the patterns are delicate and neat, with pure craftsmanship.
执壶的样子用的是葫芦的形状，葫芦因为与“福禄”的字音相同，表示富贵的意思，并且葫芦造型美观，在历史上，多象征着洒脱与智慧。从唐代以来，葫芦瓶因为谐音“福禄”，且形似“吉”字，被人们称为“大吉瓶”，寓意大吉大利、富贵延绵，自古以来都是深受人们喜爱的大吉之器。古人在新婚之日，新人会用葫芦喝交杯酒，家中张贴葫芦彩纸，寓意多子多福。时至今日，在我国南方，黎族、彝族等少数民族依然流传着葫芦图腾的神话故事，相传远古时期洪水肆虐，天地间只有一男一女因为藏在了葫芦中才幸免于难，后来这对男女结婚生子、繁衍了子孙后代。在彝族话中，葫芦和先祖的发音一样，云南一些地区至今都有供奉葫芦的传统风俗，这里的人们认为伏羲和女娲就是葫芦的化身。
The appearance of holding the pot is in the shape of a gourd. The gourd, which has the same pronunciation as the word "Fu Lu", signifies wealth and wealth. Moreover, the gourd has a beautiful appearance, and in history, it has often symbolized freedom and wisdom. Since the Tang Dynasty, the gourd vase has been known as the "Da Ji Ping" due to its homophonic sound of "Fu Lu" and its shape resembling the character "Ji". It symbolizes great luck and prosperity, and has been a beloved tool of great auspiciousness since ancient times. On the day of their wedding, the ancients used gourds to drink Jiaobei wine and posted gourd colored paper at home, symbolizing multiple children and blessings. To this day, in southern China, the mythological story of the gourd totem is still passed down among ethnic minorities such as the Li and Yi ethnic groups. It is said that in ancient times, floods raged, and only one man and one woman in heaven and earth survived because they were hidden in the gourd. Later on, this couple got married and had children, and had offspring. In Yi dialect, the pronunciation of gourds is the same as that of their ancestors. Some regions in Yunnan still have traditional customs of worshipping gourds, and people here believe that Fuxi and Nvwa are the incarnations of gourds.
