[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 849952, member: 2844"]It is a lovely pair, esc, really charming. How did you come by it? Sancai means three colours, like you see on the famous Tang horses. Your pair has more, but many people call it Sancai anyway. Sancai, etc wares have been around for centuries and are still being made. It is not more special or more collectible than celadon, blue and white, etc, just different. But not the same glaze. The glaze on yours is more glossy and less crazed. The faces are different, so attributing it to the same artist/workshop is iffy anyway. These were not made by single artists, but in workshops which could be as big as modern day factories. There has been a highly professional fakes industry in recent decades, which is something to bear in mind. It is always best to buy these with provenance.[/QUOTE]
