Sancai (三彩, “three colours”) is a style of ceramic using three intermingled glaze colours for decoration. The glaze colours are not limited to three, but are predominantly brown, green and a creamy off-white. The sancai technique originated during the Tang dynasty and is associated with Tang tomb figures, so it is often referred to as Tang Sancai (唐三彩).
