Glazeware: A Chinese Gift to the World

(Mostly) monochromatic glazes

The pieces accessible from this page are "simple" only in the sense that they are dominated by a glaze finish of a single color. In terms of technology and artistry, many represent high points of the potter's art. The pieces are grouped by color for the viewer's convenience, conflating items from various times and places.
