1. Chinese Ceramics in the Early History of Trade
Green and bluish glazed stoneware - called celadon (qingci) that originated in
Zhejiang province in South East China - was traded with many countries, starting
during the Tang dynasty. Yue celadon from the Tang and Five dynasty periods has
been excavated, for example, in Japan and Egypt. During the Chinese Southern Song
dynasty (1128-1279) the kilns of Longquan in Zhejiang province produced celadon
stoneware and porcelain, the kilns in Jiangxi province produced pale blue or pale
green porcelain (qingbai) and kilns in Fujian produced the black and brown glazed
temmoku tea bowls – all for export purposes (see map 2).
