Handcrafted Tang Sancai Ceramic Pony: A Piece of Luoyang History
Product Description
3-Color Tang Dynasty Style Macaron Ceramic Horse Figurine

Each figurine is a fusion of history and modern aesthetics, making it a perfect cultural gift or a unique desktop companion.
Key Benefits
Authentic Tang Sancai Craftsmanship:** Each horse undergoes a rigorous handmade process involving seven to eight distinct steps, including grouting, air drying, trimming, biscuit firing, glazing, and re-firing. This traditional technique ensures the vibrant, glassy finish characteristic of authentic Sancai pottery.
Signature "Ice Crackle" Texture:** The figurine features the celebrated *Kaipian* (opening piece) technique, also known as "Cicada Wing" or "Ice Crackle" patterns. While the surface appears to have delicate fractures, it is completely smooth to the touch. This is a hallmark of high-quality Tang Sancai, where the crackles may naturally increase and refine over time.
One-of-a-Kind Glazing:** Due to the kiln transformation process, the glaze flows naturally during firing ("Liuyou"). This creates organic variations in color depth and pattern, meaning no two horses are exactly alike.
Gift-Ready Presentation:** Designed as a cultural souvenir, this figurine comes with a creative handheld gift box, making it an ideal present for art lovers or history enthusiasts.

Care & Safety

Surface Characteristics:** The "cracked" appearance is a deliberate aesthetic known as *Kaipian*. It is visually textured but structurally sound and smooth.
