Sancai

Chinese for three-colored, and almost invariably refers to lead-glazed earthenware pottery fired at low temperature. The height of sancai pottery was achieved during the T'ang dynasty, 618-906 CE. Its colors were most typically yellow, white, green, brown and blue. The sancai products of the T'ang dynasty are mostly human figures, horses and camels, many of which were intended to accompany human burials.
