SanCai Glazed Figure of a Camel Chinese Tang Dynasty Style
About the Item
Vintage Sancai glazed blue pottery figure of a camel Chinese Tang Dynasty manner.
A wonderful large Chinese Tang-style glazed pottery figure of a camel carrying goods.
Made from traditional glazed ceramic in glossy orange and green, glazed and unglazed parts.
The Tang Dynasty was one of the most brilliant periods in China's long history - was characterized by a golden age in arts, literature, design and culture. Tang artisans favored the horse because of its remarkable value and skills in both farming and battle. The selection of Tang animal figures here reflects the famous drip glaze technique perfected during this era. The art of ceramics flourished during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). One of the major developments of this Dynasty came with the introduction of varicolored, soft glazes for use on ceramics. The most famous Tang Dynasty ceramic pieces include earthenware objects with tricolor glazes.
The San Cai technique dates back to the Tang dynasty (618–907AD).
Sancai sculptures remain one of the most admired and treasured art forms till this day.
A beautiful vintage decorative camel sculpture, highly collectible mid-20th century.
