Details: Stunning Chinese TANG Dynasty SANCAI
Glazed Pottery Lady with Instrument
Width: 2" Height: 7"
Tang Sancai (or three colored ware) is a polychrome lead glazed
decorated pottery. "Three-color" doesn't mean only three colors, but
rather multicolored. Tang artists in China were experimenting
greatly with the mixing of various shades of glaze.
The Chinese used these vessels predominantly for three distinct
purposes. They were used as funerary pieces buried in the tombs of
perhaps a wealthy merchant, they were used in sacrificial worship
and, finally, they were used in every day life.
