Idemitsu Museum of Arts
Finished
SHARE
It was in the beginning of the 20th century that Tang three-color glazed (or Sancai) ware was discovered, and its existence revealed by coincidence during a railroad construction in China. The multi-colored ceramics elegantly decorated with green, amber and white (clear) glazes soon attracted the collectors around the world, and it came to represent Chinese ceramics. Sancai ware were burial goods of the Tang dynasty (618-907) emperors and aristocrats, but at the same time, they were artistic items that illustrated the exchange between the east and west along the Silk Road. In this exhibition, we will show the world of beauty that reflects the international features of the time period through sancai ware and related items.
