{"product_id":"set-of-3-tang-style-sancai-lady-figures","title":"Set of 3 Tang Style Sancai Lady Figures","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree court ladies stand in long, wide-sleeved robes, the glaze running down the folds in amber, green and cream. One holds a small green cup, one cradles a pipa lute against her shoulder and the third raises a hand to her shoulder, each with a high topknot crowned by a painted red flower and a calm, softly painted face. This vintage set of three Chinese sancai glazed figures follows the style of the Tang dynasty, when the three-color lead glaze was used for figures of court ladies, musicians and attendants. Rubbed glaze, chipped bases and fine crazing give each figure a lived-in look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tallest figure stands 19.5 inches, and the three vary slightly in height, so they group naturally on a console, mantel or shelf. The amber and green add a strong color accent to neutral rooms and sit well with dark wood, plaster and Asian-inspired decor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glazed ceramic, painted details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set of 3, largest 6\"(W) x 7\"(D) x 19.5\"(H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber, green and cream with red accents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wear consistent with age and use, part of its character and historical value.

The largest figure measures 6 inches wide, 7 inches deep and 19.5 inches tall. The figures hold a cup, a pipa lute and a raised hand, and work grouped on a console, mantel or shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What is sancai glaze?\u003cbr\u003eA: Sancai means three colors in Chinese. It is a low-fired lead glaze, usually amber, green and cream, that became famous in the Tang dynasty (618 to 907), when the colors were allowed to run together on tomb figures of court ladies, musicians and horses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: How do you style colorful ceramic figures in a neutral room?\u003cbr\u003eA: Group the three on a console, mantel or shelf at staggered heights and let the amber and green be the only strong color nearby. Plain walls, dark wood and a few books or a simple vase keep the focus on the figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e**Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68145442783469,"sku":"IMG_0450","price":845.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/5256\/files\/IMG_0450_f5c8dda2-f467-4fbf-a525-9701831a3122.jpg?v=1793649687","url":"https:\/\/de-cor.com\/products\/set-of-3-tang-style-sancai-lady-figures","provider":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
