📜 Description
This small yet intriguing Ming Dynasty Sancai-glazed pottery model exhibits rich ochre and green tones typical of early
Ming ceramics. The form, with its soft, hand-molded features, represents the rustic charm and organic texture of early
sancai experimentation before mass kiln refinement.
Collector’s Notes: Ming sancai ware, characterized by its tri-colored glaze (green, amber, and cream), was highly prized in tomb
offerings and decorative art. Miniatures like this reflect everyday and symbolic forms in Ming burial traditions, valued
today for their authenticity and glaze preservation.
