Tang Dynasty ceramics (618–907 CE) are renowned for their innovative forms and vibrant glazes, marking a golden age in Chinese pottery. Key features include sancai (three-color) glazes in yellow, green, and white, often seen in figurines and decorative items. Tang ceramics showcase intricate designs and motifs reflecting daily life, mythology, and nature, influenced by the rise of Buddhism. Highly sought after along the Silk Road, they were exported widely, spreading Chinese artistic influences. Technological advancements in kiln and glazing techniques further enhanced the quality and variety of ceramics produced during this period.
