Sancai, or "three-colored" wares, is a type of Chinese pottery decoration that uses glazes or slip in shades of green, brown (or amber), and a creamy off-white. The technique was developed in the late seventh century during the Tang dynasty (618–907 AD) and was often used for funerary goods. Sancai is known for its bright colors, clear tones, and superior bonding power, which are achieved by firing the pottery twice.
