Silla Sansai

Japanese: 新羅三彩 - しらぎさんさい

This is a tri-color glazed pottery made during the Unified Silla period in Korea. Few remains remain, and a lidded tall cup in the collection of the National Museum of Korea has a shallow cup section with a raised lid rest and a low, heavy-looking foot, displaying a shape common to the Unified Silla period. The lid is missing its knob, but the upper half is decorated with a double circle row pattern, double circle line pattern, and compound sawtooth pattern around it. The color of the glaze applied to the entire surface of the vessel is brown with reddish yellow and green visible in parts, and the tri-color coloring is not clear.

朝鮮，統一新羅時代につくられた，三彩釉を施された陶器。遺品は数少なく，大韓民国国立中央博物館所蔵の有蓋高杯は，蓋受けの立上がりのある浅い杯部に，低い鈍重な感じを与える脚部がついた，統一新羅時代に通有の器形を示す。蓋は，つまみを欠失しているが，それを中心に，二重円圏列文，二重圏線文，複合鋸歯文で上半部を飾る。器表全面にかけられた釉薬の色調は，褐色地に赤黄色と緑色が部分的にみられ，三彩の発色が鮮明でない。
