Three Antique Chinese Pottery Jars With Sancai Glaze

Three antique Chinese pottery jars with sancai glaze
Authentic, hand-thrown jars with individually crafted lids
Although the distinctive sancai (“three colors”) style reached its peak during the Tang Dynasty (618–907), this technique was revived in later periods
The more massive forms, the stylized incised patterns around the shoulder, and the characteristic fading of the green glaze are typical of utilitarian and funerary pottery produced during the Liao, Song, or Ming dynasties
The surface shows significant signs of weathering due to burial and glaze deterioration, including iridescent mineralization and flaking in places
