The vessel is fitted with a straight spout on one side and a gracefully curved handle on the opposite side, both naturally integrated into the body design. The upper section is covered with an ivory-toned glaze, while yellow and green sancai colors flow vertically downward in elegant dripping patterns, creating a relaxed and painterly effect. The glaze transitions beautifully between colors, with fine natural crackling across the surface. The lower body and foot reveal the unglazed light beige clay body, with clear wheel-cut marks and firing traces that highlight its age and craftsmanship. With its generous silhouette, expressive glaze movement, and authentic Tang dynasty character, this sancai ewer represents the beauty of early Chinese ceramic artistry and remains highly desirable among collectors of ancient Chinese ceramics.
