Chinese pottery dates as far back as the Palaeolithic period however, it prospered during the Tang dynasty. Popular techniques involved high-fire and low-fire although Tang sancai, meaning three coloured, was favoured overall. The process involved earthenware moulded into the desired shapes or vessels then decorated with colour, added to only the naturalistic areas rather than covering the whole piece. The pieces would have been baked in a kiln at roughly 1100 celsius, the glaze would then added and baked again at a lower heat.
