About this product
Product Information
The sixth century saw a major transformation of ceramic technology. It initiated an era characterised by porcelain and polychrome decoration that overturned the earlier pattern of earthenware and stoneware production that had been used for thousands of years. However, the process of this dramatic transformation has been unclear. The Origin of White Porcelain focuses on the typo-chronology of three major categories of glazed ceramics recognised with in-situ pXRF analysis of items discovered from sixth-century burials in north China. It examines the chemical and mineralogical compositions of the body and glaze, the glazing methods and firing conditions of selected samples with optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermal expansion measurement. These provide insights into the innovation of lead-glazed earthenware, the transfer of ash-glazed stoneware technology and the emergence of the earliest white porcelain. The social dynamics that drove the transformation and integration of ceramic technology and its impact on the succeeding period are discussed.

'This is anexcellent, original and thorough study of the origins of white porcelain. Itexplores research questions about the pathway of technological transformationand the social impulse that drove the emergence and popularity of this newceramic.' Professor Mike Parker Pearson, UCL Institute of Archaeology 'Shan Huang'sground-breaking and comprehensive synthesis of dated burial assemblages,supported by extensive scientific analyses of the ceramics themselves, allowsfor a new understanding of the origins of white porcelain, the most successfulceramic of the pre-industrial world.'

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.
