Product Description
The tri-colour glazed pottery in the Tang style is a Chinese art that dates back 1,300 years. It is so named because it has red, green and white all on one object. Those produced in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province are the best known in China. Prior to the Tang Dynasty pottery could only be produced in a single colour.Tri-color glazed pottery was valued for its integration of the national style along with a distince local flavour. The artists skillfully combine molding with exquisite lines that are pleasing to the eye. In the glazing process, the different colours are dissolved together in low heat, so that they blend just right, producing a fine multifarious effect.
Today in order to continue studying and further develop this ancient art, the Xi'an Pottery Factory was established. The figurines of esquisite workmanship include handsome horses, life-like camels, lively singers and dancers, the imposing heavenly king with a phoenis on his crown, court jesters, grooms and animals used as funeral objects. Golden camels bearing silks and local specialities were recent reproductions between China and Western countries during the Tang Dynasty. The tri-colour Tang pottery, continuously improved through the centuries, has now been developed even fruther and its varieties have reached several hundred.
