The art of Chinese pottery making can be traced back to the
ancient times and is an inherent aspect of the rich and glorious
Chinese culture.
According to available historical evidence the art of Chinese
pottery dates back to as far back as the Neolithic times. Most of
the ancient Chinese pottery was made of glazed brown, grey and
red.
Pottery making and porcelain decoration received a great boost
during the reign of the Han dynasty around 206 B.C. Artisans began
using different hues to decorate porcelain objects of day-to-day
use.
In the later years especially during the rule of the Tang
dynasty the art of Chinese pottery reached new heights. Artisans
designed lovely monochrome porcelain pottery and figurines in
bright colors. Chinese pottery became an industry during the rule
of the Song dynasty when numerous porcelain kilns were built.
In the later years the typical blue, white and cream porcelain
pottery became famous and is still an important aspect of the
scintillating Chinese culture. The characteristic blue-white China
pottery developed during the reign of the Yuan dynasty. Most of the
Chinese pottery is decorated with finely designed motifs of
flowers, geometrical patterns and other artistic designs.
