Chinese Pottery of the Neolithic Period The Chinese ceramic pottery of this period is of two distinct kinds: that of the Yangshao Culture and that of the Longshan Culture. The pottery of China that belongs to the Yangshao culture is painted pottery. It is characterized by geometric designs and dates back to 5000-7000 years ago. In the making of painted pottery, the wheel was not used. The black pottery of the Longshan culture is 4000 years old. This ancient pottery from China was not painted or decorated in any other manner. It had a polished exterior. * http://www.india-crafts.com/pottery/chinese-pottery.htmlOther sites with very good information:
History of porcelain
Oriental porcelain. The Chinese probably made the first true porcelain during the Tang dynasty (618-907). The techniques for combining the proper ingredients and firing the mixture at extremely high temperatures gradually developed out of the manufacture of stoneware. During the Song dynasty (960-1279), Chinese emperors started royal factories to produce porcelain for their palaces. Since the 1300's, most Chinese porcelain has been made in the city of Jingdezhen.
