A pair of Superb San-Cai,Tang Dynasty plates


This is an interesting pair of plates that had been preserved until today. It was indeed a very rare find and in perfect conditions. A few of my Chinese counterparts had informed me that only an emperor could possessed such intricate piece of porcelain those days. There are seven figurines (arranged in a circle) in the form of animals and mystical beasts in the centre of the plates.
Unbelieveable!
