Gao started learning about tri-colored glazing at the age of 17 and has developed a new method to the art. In order to make a tri-colored glazed work, Gao needs to design with a good knowledge on perspectives of painting, stone inscription, sculpting and printing. /Xinhua Photo

Gao’s work of “A Drinking Horse” was collected by China National Arts and Crafts Museum in Beijing in 2008 and his efforts in promoting the technique successfully sent Tang tri-colored glazing art form into the national intangible cultural heritage list. In 2012, Gao brought the art overseas with an exhibition in Los Angeles, the US. /VCG Photo

Gao’s hometown has over 70 businesses catered to producing these ceramics and sells millions of these artworks a year. /VCG Photo
