I got these from my student. Look at the white horse in the middle. It's smiling! This set is called the 唐三彩 and is from Luoyang (洛阳). I've been pondering about this for some time. Why is this called 唐三彩? These 3 chinese characters literally mean 3 colours of tang. I know it is from the Tang dynasty, but why 3 colours? I look and stare at the horses and no way did the craftsmen only use 3 colours to paint them.

That aside, I'm now wondering if I should bring them back to Singapore. So troublesome. So fragile. So brittle. In all, so 马烦!
