Description
A large vintage Tang style Sancai glazed terracotta horse. This exquisite piece features a striking green and brown color glazed finish, infusing it with a touch of classic allure.
The production process of Tang Sancai is very complicated. First of all, the mined mineral soil must be selected, pounded, washed, precipitated, and dried, and then molded into a kiln for firing. Tang Sancai was fired using the secondary firing method. From the raw material point of view, its carcass is made of white clay. It is bisque-fired at 1000-1100degC in the kiln. The baked carcass is cooled and then filled with various prepared glazes and put into the kiln. Glaze firing, the firing temperature is 850-950C. In the glaze color, various oxidized metals are used as colorants, and various colors appear after calcining. This Tang San Cai horse is in very good vintage condition with normal age wear. Please check all the additional pictures for the detailed condition and contact us if you have any questions.
