A SANCAI-GLAZED POTTERY TRIPOD JAR <br/>TANG DYNASTY (618-907)

Featuring a wide mouth, narrow neck, swollen belly, and a ring-shaped bottom, this jar is supported by three beast-shaped feet. Two embossed string patterns are engraved on the upper and lower sides of the belly. The jar above the neck and the three beast-shaped feet are glazed in yellow while the belly is glazed in yellow, white, and blue. The bottom of the jar is unglazed. This jar features a lively shape and an artistic aesthetic that flows between the colored glazes. The cobalt blue glaze on the jar is especially noteworthy because it is a color rarely seen in Tang tricolor pottery, making this jar a precious and one-of-a-kind piece.
