Wikipedia:

Sancai (literally: “three colours”) is a versatile type of decoration on Chinese pottery using glazes or slip, predominantly in the three colours of brown (or amber), green, and a creamy off-white. It is particularly associated with the Tang Dynasty (618–907) and its tomb figures, appearing around 700.

Sancai of letterlijk ‘drie kleuren’ is een aardewerk in bruin (of amber),
groen en een roomkleurig wit. Wordt in verband gebracht met de Tang dynastie,
in het bijzonder bij grafbeelden.
