- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Ming Dynasty, ca. 1368 to 1644 CE. A beautiful Sancai glazed pottery equestian figure. The rider wears traditional clothing and a typical hat of a dignitary with compartments for equipment over his hips - all glazed in beautiful golden yellow and spring green hues as well as black. The muscular horse is white with a highly decorated saddle and bridle in yellow and green as well and a finely manicured black mane. The noble steed stands upon a rectangular plinth with the front right leg slightly raised to suggest a forward gait as his rider sits with one arm raised and the other outstretched as if once carrying a banner. A wonderful example of supreme quality and an excellent state of preservation. Size: 10.875" L x 12.25" H (27.6 cm x 31.1 cm)
The word Sancai means 'three colors', and is achieved by using different oxides mixed with varnishes heated at a low-temperature. With iron the artist could obtain the yellow; copper gives the green or sometimes the dark brown color; and in some cases, cobalt was used to create blue. This pursuit of various colors dates back to the Han period, when artists tried to imitate bronze objects.
