A blue and sancai-glazed tripod dish,
唐 三彩加藍荷塘飛雁三足盤
This Tang dynasty tripod dish exemplifies the technical sophistication of sancai ceramic production, combining cobalt blue with traditional green and ochre glazes on a cream ground to create a visually striking composition. The interior features an impressed floral medallion centered with a flying goose, a motif reflecting the period's appreciation for naturalistic imagery rendered within geometric frameworks. The piece's functional form supported by three cabriole legs demonstrates the craftsmen's ability to unite aesthetic refinement with practical vessel design.
