FAQs

Tang Dynasty tomb models, or mingqi, were crafted to accompany the deceased into the afterlife, providing physical representations of wealth, status, and daily necessities such as food storage and architecture.

These pieces were typically formed from earthenware or terracotta and finished with lead-silicate glazes, such as the characteristic green celadon or sancai tricolour glazes, which were fired at lower temperatures.

Authenticating ancient pottery involves examining the clay body, mineral encrustations, glaze crazing, and firing imperfections, often corroborated through thermoluminescence testing to check the last firing date.

These sculptural objects serve as focal points when displayed on architectural pedestals, within glass cabinets, or paired with minimalist contemporary furniture to highlight their historical texture and form.

Preservation requires stable environmental conditions away from direct sunlight and drastic humidity fluctuations, cleaning only with a dry, soft brush to avoid damaging fragile, aged glazes.
