With great pleasure, we present you our 2020 catalogue Sancai – Three Colours.
It is a celebration of Chinese ceramics that have a recognisable decoration in mainly three colours: green, brown and or amber with uncoloured areas in white. Though these are the main colours in this palette, it may encompass other colours as well. We have chosen this particular subject as it spans a long period of Chinese ceramic history. It was used as early as the Tang dynasty (618 -907) and continues far in to the 18th century, even used today.
As we have a passion for early ceramics from the Tang dynasty and porcelains from the 17th and 18th centuries in this colour combination, the subject could not be more suitable. Large and small objects, figures, bowls and vases, scholar’s desks objects and animals; all telling a story and so representative of our own taste. Enjoy reading!
