Porcelain from the Tang to the Five Dynasties

In the Tang Dynasty, areas where ceramics were manufactured expanded and the quality of the products were improved considerably. The polychrome-glazed pottery in the Tang Dynasty which reached an unprecedented degree of sophistication represented a dramatic advance in porcelain production. The Yue Kiln celadon of the south and the Xing Kiln white porcelain of the north were the highest achievements of the two regions. Meanwhile the active experimentation in techniques during the Five Dynasties laid grounds for the rapid development of porcelain manufacturing in the Song Dynasty.
