Artistic value of Black Pottery

   The black pottery pieces are the traditional art works in China. Originated from the New Stone Age, it has the history of more than 4000 years. It almost disappeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasty. However, thanks to the efforts of our archaeologists, these works came out again in 1986. On the festival of culture and art in Singapore in 1989, the works from our country won the gold award due to the perfect outlook, high technology and artistic value.
The advantages of black pottery come from the methods and materials. The pure and fine red clay is the main material. It should made first on the wheel. Then it can be made into any shape by potters. Other techniques can also be used such as carving and sculpting. A perfect work can come out at last after baking.
  The black pottery with peculiar styles is recognized by people both at home and abroad. In contrast to other ordinary pottery pieces, the works of black pottery can make people feel sober and tranquil as well as noble interest. Especially in the modern society, the black pottery can make people out of the chaos of the world. The culture of black pottery is so deep that other colored pottery cannot contain.
  As the symbol of the deep culture of China, the works of black pottery have been highly valued by the leaders of our government and are given as precious gifts to international friends.
