Asian style pots

Description:The dividing line between the two and true porcelain wares is not a clear one. Many of the well-known lively Tang dynasty tomb figures , which were only made to be placed in elite tombs close to the capital in the north, are in sancai, while others are unpainted or were painted over a slip; the paint has now often fallen off. One exceptional ritual site, Niuheliang in the far north, has produced numerous human figurines, some about half life-size. This is a similar range to that of jade , always the most prestigious material in Chinese art, and the broad resemblance accounts for much of the attractiveness of celadon to the Chinese.
