Item No. 67761 T'ANG: Kai Yuan, 845-846, AE cash, Luoyang mint, Henan Province, H-14.77, S-370, luo above on reverse, Fine. Luoyang was the center of production of Tang San Cai (Tricolor Glazed Pottery). This was a type of polychrome lead glazed decorated pottery. Tricolored didn't just mean only three colors, but rather multicolored. Tang artists in China were experimenting greatly with the mixing of various shades of glaze. They seemed to share a fascination for the resulting color from these mixtures. This Three-color glaze technique grew out of the monochrome lead glazes used during the earlier Dynasties. |
