Ancient Chinese Tang Dynasty Sancai Glazed Tea Bowl - 706 AD
Price: GB $294.00

An ancient Chinese Tang Dynasty tea bowl, dating to around 706 - 755 AD.

Beautifully balanced, this charming miniature bowl has steep sides and a slightly everted rim. The piece is coloured with an attractive sancai glaze of green and orange which stands out vibrantly against the cream slip.

The kilns of the Tang Dynasty broke free from earlier traditions, employing rich, lively glazes, the most famous of which being sancai (three colour glaze). Whether this reflected a change in fashion or technology is not known, however, Tang glazes are some of the most admired of the entire ancient world.

Tea bowls hold a special place in the story of Chinese ceramics, tea drinking became widespread during the Tang Dynasty and remained popular throughout subsequent Chinese history. The ceramics used in tea drinking were an important part of the ritual, the small size of this bowl (far smaller than later Song Dynasty wares) indicates that the tea was strong, and taken as a shot.

Condition: The piece is in very good condition.

Diameter: 2 ¼ with Brian Page Antiques, Brighton. Subsequently sold at sale.

Please note: This is a genuine ancient Chinese tea bowl. This piece is offered for sale without reserve to promote our extensive inventory of antiquities and ancient coins.
