Tricolor Pottery Figurine of a Standing Woman

This figurine stands tall and straight, looking serious. Different from low-temperature glazed pottery, the tricolor glazed pottery of the Tang dynasty was made of kaolin as the clay body. The raw body was fired at the high temperature of 1,100 degrees Celsius, and then was applied with the glaze containing several metal oxides as colorants and plumbic oxide as the flux, and finally fired at the lower temperature of 900 degrees Celsius, to visualize light and dark colors like green, blue, white, brown, and yellow.
