這套器物由藍理捷購於香港松心閣，並於2006年售出給納爾遜博物館。這套器物可謂是隋代器物的標準器，此時白釉尚未成熟，雖然釉面有斑駁但瑕不掩瑜，這個時代的器物以造型、內涵取勝。這套器物是為袖珍尺寸，多年來並無此類作品再出，存世極為罕見。
無論從審美，歷史意義上，都十分具有研究價值。特別是鞋子、憑幾還有隋代女士經常使用的圓凳等，都十分精巧可愛。

1959 年在河南安陽張勝墓中發現了一套類似的綠釉石器墓葬傢具，包括非常相似的燭台、香爐、扶手、井蓋、爐子、靴子、拖鞋和兩種類型的儲藏室，墓誌銘包括公元 595 年的紀年。作者認為，這些淡綠色釉的精美白色石器模型產自安陽附近的磁縣，而磁縣的嘉壁窯正是以生產這類器物而聞名。
