Subject:Clear, Transparent Glaze Over White Clay, Not White/Grey Glaze
Posted By: jac Mon, Apr 06, 2015 The figurine has no white or grey glaze. The sleeves are covered with clear, transparent glaze which looked a little greyish, perhaps due to degradation over time. |

Posted By: jac Wed, Apr 08, 2015 "Secondly - the lead glaze have usually degraded over the years in a way that is very hard to replicate. Technically the glaze will have stalked itself up into thin layers, which are seen, as if the glaze was covered by salt. (Beware - it might be). It should have a very fine meshed crackle. Each of this are possibly to replicate but rarely both, at the same time. " |

Posted By: Corey Wed, Apr 29, 2015 I think pierredw is wrong about the grey glaze not being used in the tang dynasty. It's just one of the rarer colors seen, as the photograph bellow shows. Also the clay looks beige rather than white, but it's difficult to see on the photograph. But there are extremely well made reproductions being made in China today |

Posted By: jac Thu, Apr 30, 2015 I have 5 sancai court musicians that I bought for S$30 each. They are very good replicas that failed the water absorbency test. |

Posted By: Jacqueline Fri, May 06, 2016 I have a piece similar to the photos shown, however my statue has colors the are different, the hair is black. Also I have tried the water and smell test ..The water absorbed quickly, and resulting in a smell I would compare to stale cigar smoke.. it is a very strong smell. There is "crackle" , some of the areas more than others. Is this piece real? |
