  • White Wares of Northern China
    200 White Wares of Northern China Regina Krahl The white wares of northern China launched the country’s reputation as a center of porcelain. As hard, dense, and durable as their southern green counterparts, but more immediately appealing due to their sparkling, glossy, clean-looking material, white wares became the envy and aspiration of potters worldwide. Porcelain clays are naturally available in north China, and some rare examples of white wares—made of a pure, white clay, unglazed, but fired at temperatures just high enough to qualify as stonewares—have been discovered at sites of the late Shang dynasty (circa 1600–circa 1050 BCE) at Anyang in Henan province. As no continuous development, like that seen in southern stoneware, followed these early beginnings, however, they have to be considered isolated experiments, rather than origins of north China’s stoneware production. It would take another 1,600 years or so before continuous production of stonewares began in northern China and before the first white porcelains were commercialized on a regular basis. The white wares on the Belitung wreck comprised some 300 items, most of them tablewares, all made in northern China. These elegant yet utilitarian ceramics were unique to China and highly prized throughout Asia. The white wares recovered from this cargo, probably the most valuable ceramics on board, are varied in type and may represent a combination of wares from three or four different kilns. Produced mainly in Hebei and Henan provinces, they may not have been easy to come by for merchants based far away in southern port cities, even though the north was linked to the international port of Yangzhou via the Grand Canal.

  • The Introduction of Celadon Production in North China: Technological Characteristics and Diversity of the Earliest Wares
    The Introduction of Celadon Production in North China: Technological Characteristics and Diversity of the Earliest Wares Shan Huang*1, Ian C. Freestone1, Yanshi Zhu2, Lihua Shen2 * Corresponding Author: [email protected] 1 Institute of Archaeology, University College London, 31-34 Gordon Square, WC1H 0PY, London, UK 2 Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, 27 Wangfujing Avenue, 100710, Beijing, China Abstract Celadon, technically a stoneware with a lime-rich glaze, had been produced in South China for more than two millennia before it was first made in the North in the second half of the sixth century. It appears to have been an immediate precursor to white porcelain, which was first produced by northern kilns. The compositions and microstructures of early northern celadons from kilns, residential sites and tombs in Shandong, Hebei and Henan provinces, and dated 550s-618 CE, have been determined by SEM-EDS. The majority of the vessels were made using a low-iron kaolinitic clay, with high alumina (20-29%), as anticipated for northern clays. A small number of celadon vessels from a kiln at Caocun, which produced mainly lead-glazed wares, have lower alumina contents and appear to have originated in the South. It seems possible that these imported vessels were being used by the potters as models on which Caocun wares were based. Consistent differences in major element composition are observed between the products of kilns at Anyang, Xing, Luoyang and Zhaili. Unlike southern celadon glazes, which were prepared as two-component mixtures of vegetal ash and body clay, the northern celadon glazes are three-component, and typically contained an additional siliceous component, probably loess.

  • Chinese Pottery Traditions 19
    CHINESE POTTERY TRADITIONS 19 Chinese Pottery Traditions Amoreena Rathke Faculty Sponsor: Karen Terpstra, Department of Art ABSTRACT My research was to conduct oral histories of Chinese potters in order to gain a bet- ter understanding of their role in the ceramics profession and their importance on my own artwork. The objective of my research of Chinese potters was multi-fold. Primarily, I was interested in anthropological data as it pertained to the present day to day life for Chinese potters, the role and function of ceramics in China, and especially the role that gender plays in the ceramic profession there. In addition, I was interested in the impact of traditional pottery techniques, forms, and glazes on Chinese potters and potters elsewhere in the world. I hoped to discover how those techniques are incorporated into modern ceramic work. Workspaces and studios were also an important research component as they are set up so differently than those in the United States. China has been quickly changing since the country opened up its doors to foreign travelers in 1976. Potters though out the world have greatly benefited by interactions with Chinese ceramicists. An unexpected result of the cultural exchange is that Chinese pottery is starting to break away from tradi- tion. I was greatly interested in researching modern potters as they begin a new ceramic dynasty in China. INTRODUCTION Ceramics have played an integral role in the lives of humans throughout history and con- tinue to enrich the human experience. China has a long and leading role in the evolution of ceramics and its cultural impact on the world.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract The first chapter introduces the background to Yue ware, the green ware produced over the period from the eighth to the eleventh century in Zhejiang province, and describes both the historical situation within the period .
