This exquisite Tang Dynasty sancai-glazed tripod censer exemplifies the artistry and vibrancy of Tang ceramic craftsmanship. Dating to the 8th century, this vessel is adorned in a captivating glaze palette of amber, green, and cream, all artfully intermingled to produce a rich, marbled surface effect.
The censer stands on three well-defined cabriole legs that provide both elegance and stability. The body is robust yet compact, with a short cylindrical neck and a wide, flared mouth, perfectly proportioned for its function. Originally used for burning incense, such censers held ritualistic and decorative significance within Tang aristocratic households and Buddhist temples.
This sancai censer not only embodies the aesthetics of the Tang dynasty but also represents a rare collecting opportunity. Its vivid glazes, excellent form, and illustrious provenance make it a prized acquisition for connoisseurs of Chinese ceramics.
Diameter: 16.6 cm
Provenance: Formerly in the distinguished collection of Alan Hartman (1930–2023) and his wife Simone, renowned collectors celebrated for their discerning taste in Chinese antiquities.
