Ancient lead-glazed Sancai or “three-colored” ware in the style of the Tang Dynasty. This handled pottery bottle or vase looks like a primitive functional ceramic but addition of blue as well as applied ornaments such as birds and shells gives it a unique look.

Developed during the seventh century, the colors were achieved by mixing metal oxides to a lead fluxed glaze. The oxides included copper for green and iron for amber or brownish yellow. Together with a clear, cream glaze, they provided the three basic colors but, on rare occasion, expensive cobalt oxide for blue was added to the mix. The tendency of the glaze to run accounts for the splashed effects and mingling of the colors that give Sancai their exuberant effect.

I don't know if the vase is really antique but it looks like it. I am no specialist.

Dimensions: Approx. 9 inches (23 cm) tall and 5,5 inches (14 cm) wide at handles.

État/Condition: Very good condition apart from some glaze loss shown on the pictures.

Smoke-free environment. Shipping fees always combined on multiple purchase.

NOTE: All our products are antique or vintage. We strive to purchase and present only items in good to near-mint condition, but most pieces will show some degree of wear that we try to describe and show in our pictures.
