Tang Sancai

Tang Sancai refers to a type of ancient Chinese glazed pottery from the Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD), characterized by its three-color (sancai) glaze—typically green, amber, and cream. These ceramics were often used for funerary purposes, such as tomb figurines and containers, and were valued for their vibrant colors and skilled craftsmanship. The sancai technique involves applying different colored glazes to create visually striking and durable objects, showcasing the technological and artistic advances of the period. Tang Sancai remains an important representation of Tang Dynasty art and cultural heritage.
