SANCAI-GLAZED MINIATURE EWER
TANG DYNASTY (618-907)
5.8 cm high
The ewer is supported on a slightly splayed foot, the globular body rising to a waisted neck with a flaring rim. A short tubular spout is set on one side of the shoulder, the other side is applied with a double-strap handle. The exterior is covered with a sancai glaze of green, amber and cream splashes, unevenly stopping over halfway the body to reveal the unglazed material.
Provenance:
Formerly in a Dutch private collection
