Sancai means three-colours. However, the colours of the glazes used to decorate the wares of the Tang dynasty were not limited to three in number. In the West, Tang sancai wares were sometimes referred to as egg-and-spinach by dealers for the use of green, yellow and white. Though the latter of the two colours might be more properly described as amber and off-white or cream.
This camel, made with lead-fluxed glazes, was made to be placed in a tomb, from the Walters Art Museum.[26]
Sancai wares were northern wares made using white and buff-firing secondary kaolins and fire clays.[27] At kiln sites located at Tongchuan, Neiqiu County in Hebei and Gongyi in Henan,[27] the clays used for burial wares were similar to those used by Tang potters. The burial wares were fired at a lower temperature than contemporaneous whitewares. Burial wares, such as the well-known representations of camels and horses, were cast in sections, in moulds with the parts luted together using clay slip. In some cases, a degree of individuality was imparted to the assembled figurines by hand-carving.
