Tang Sancai (唐三彩, literally "Tang three colours") is a Chinese low-fired lead-glazed ceramic technique that flourished during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). Molten glazes in amber, green and cream are applied to a white clay body and fired, so the colours run and blend into each other in the kiln. The technique is recognised as part of China's intangible cultural heritage and is still practised by hand in Henan province.

No, and that is the point. Each sculpture is individually hand-sculpted and kiln-fired, and the glaze flows differently in every firing. Small variations in colour balance, crackle and expression are normal characteristics of a handmade ceramic piece, not defects.

It is a fired ceramic piece and should be treated like any fine art object. The high-density ceramic body is solid and heavier than it looks, but sharp knocks and drops can chip the glaze. Place it on a stable surface away from edges.

Dust with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. For a deeper clean use a barely damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive pads and prolonged soaking, all of which can dull the glaze.
