The Chinese were a very clever people who discovered a wide range of techniques to perfect the art of pottery. With this piece, we witness one of their many inventions consisting in the discovery of green lead glaze, achieved by mixing feldpaths with copper oxide. To obtain this colour the artist would use a very well-designed oven with the capacity of reaching a temperature of 800 degrees, something which the West learned how to create much later.
