A charming and well-preserved Tang dynasty sancai-glazed pottery water pot, the compressed globular form with a narrow mouth and flat base. The surface is adorned with the iconic sancai ('three colours') glaze, featuring vivid green, amber, and creamy white glazes that cascade down the sides in an expressive, fluid manner.
Sancai-glazed ceramics were a celebrated innovation of the Tang period, prized for their vibrant colours and decorative flair. This particular form was traditionally used as a water pot for calligraphy or painting, highlighting the cultural sophistication of Tang literati practices.
The piece embodies the elegance and technical mastery of Tang dynasty ceramics, making it a collectible example of early Chinese polychrome pottery.

此件唐代三彩水盂保存完好，造型小巧可愛，呈扁圓形鼓腹、口小底平，比例協調，為文人案頭書畫用水盂的經典器形。通體施以唐代代表性的三彩釉（綠、琥珀黃、奶白），釉彩自然流淌，層次分明，呈現出動感與自由的裝飾美感。
三彩陶器為唐代工藝的重要創新，以其色彩鮮明、釉色奔放與製作技藝高超著稱。此類小型器物常用於書畫文房之用，不僅實用，更成為文人日常賞玩之雅物。
本品釉色保存完整，風格典雅，為收藏唐代多彩陶瓷藝術的珍貴實例，亦見證唐代文人審美與陶藝融合的高度。
