| Proto-celadon
appeared no later than the Shang period and was produced in large
quantities during the periods of the Western Zhou, the Spring and
Autumn and the Warring States. After the Western and Eastern Han dynasties,
their production declined. Proto- celadon contains essential features
of porcelain but still displayed some primitive characteristics, which
represented the initial stage of porcelain production. |
