The Goryeo from page 005 to 027. celadon is generally thought to be inspired by the Yue porcelain of the southern China in its birth and progress. The thesis discusses the first time of inlay technique being applied to the production of the Goryeo inlaid celadon by contrasting the similar techniques for the 10th-11th century’s inlaid ornaments unearthed in northern China, followed by the idea that the sort of technique be created and widely used in northern China much earlier than it came out in Goryeo. It is therefore viewed in the thesis that the northern Chinese inlay technique had an important impact on the generation and improvement of the proceeding of the Goryeo inlaid celadon.

It is tested that the Tang-dynasty Jingdezhen celadon had major inspiration from the southern celadon such as the Yue ware. Specifically, the celadon products of both Nan kiln and Lantian kiln contain sedimentary clay in the ware body. It was not until the late Tang and the Five dynasties that porcelain stone was used instead as the stuff of the ware body, which first generated the high-quality white porcelain and bluish white porcelain in the south as the result of it. The formulas of glazes went through the journey of innovation from kinds of plant ashes plus clay to glaze ash plus porcelain stone.

Since the 9 century, the Khmers started to produce high-fired glazed stoneware. The various shapes and motifs of green-glazed-covered boxes of Phnom Kulen Kilns dated from the 11th-12th centuries were inspired by the decorative crafts of the Yue porcelain wares of the Tang through Northern-Song times, and got reformed and innovated in practice. The covered boxes of Phnom Kulen Kilns were used as complementary goods along with gold and silver wares by royal court and the middle-and-upper classes until the influx of Chinese covered boxes in Angkor since the mid-12th century and thereafter. These covered boxes contained beewax or other perfume for ritual and daily uses, they demonstrated the powerful kingship and the polity prosperity.

  • 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.

  • Wisseling in Het Paviljoen
    37 Ching-Ling Wang OEN J A COAT OF COLOUR: MONOCHROME GLAZES ON CHINESE CERAMICS Ceramic glaze is a vitreous substance that fuses to the porcelain body through firing. The glaze has practical and aesthetic functions, namely, to make a vessel waterproof as well to colour and decorate it. One could almost say that ceramics are ‘clothed’ in glaze. Primitive celadon was fired at high temperatures after the application of ash-glaze, which is made from wood or plant ash and contains potash and lime. This type of early green-glazed stoneware was only produced in southeast China but was widely distributed. The Yue kilns in northern Zhejiang, active since the Han dynasty, produced their finest wares in the 9th and 10th centuries: delicate objects with exquisite jade-like glazes termed ‘secret colour’ (mise). The celadon glaze used in Longquan produced a broad range of blue-green to pastel green tones. Parallel to the southern celadon, the kilns in Northern China also manufactured exquisite celadon types. Jun-ware, mainly made in Yu county in Henan province, was coated with a thick and opaque bright sky-blue glaze that resulted from the use of iron and copper pigments and WISSELING IN HET PAVIL the careful regulation of the kiln temperature. During firing the spots of copper oxidized in the glaze to produce crimson and purple splashes. The Yaozhou kilns in Shaanxi province produced a variety of ceramics, but they were best known for their green-glazed stoneware normally covered with olive-green glaze. Carving and incising the surface caused variances in the thickness of the glaze, resulting in different tones.
