Chinese pottery
Asian fired clay
Chinese pottery encompasses ceramic wares produced in China, from ancient earthenware to the refined porcelain that Europeans long sought to imitate.
The term covers a vast range: Tang dynasty tomb figures, Song celadons, Ming blue-and-white porcelain.
China's ceramic traditions are among the world's oldest and most influential, giving English the word *china* for fine dinnerware.
The museum's collection of Chinese pottery spans three thousand years.
