唐代筆記 vol.29 大都會博物館：唐三彩藍彩小童朝天馬 - Met Museum, A Tang Dynasty Sancai Blue Glaze Horse And Boy

唐三彩朝天馬十分罕見，這件袖珍馬尺寸僅為13.7cm高，更為罕見；此外，這件作品的三彩構成除了黃釉、綠釉，還有十分珍稀的藍釉。小童牽馬動態平衡，生動再現了大唐帝國的細膩審美。

The Tang tri-colored pottery rearing horse figurine is exceptionally rare. This miniature piece stands at a mere 13.7cm in height, making it particularly uncommon. Moreover, its color composition features not only the traditional yellow and green glazes, but also incorporates the highly prized cobalt blue glaze - a treasured rarity in Tang sancai works. The dynamic balance between the horse and its young groom attendant vividly captures the refined aesthetics of the Tang Empire, with the child figure's posture ingeniously maintaining both visual harmony and physical stability in the ceramic composition.
