Introduction
For centuries Chinese ceramics have been the objects most coveted in the West by collectors with an interest in the arts of Asia.


The extraordinary innovations of Chinese potters count among the most outstanding accomplishments in the cultural heritage of the world since the Neolithic era. Various dynasties ruled one after another, in accordance with a tradition that told of mythical rules who had discovered all the inventions fundamentals to human life, such as fire.


History of China

China, representing one of the earliest civilizations in the world, has a recorded history of about 3,600 years. It possesses rich historical documents as well as ancient relics. Like other nations, China, in its development, passed through the stages of primitive society, slave society, and feudal society. During the middle decades of the 19th century, capitalist forces of foreign countries invaded China, and China was slowly transformed into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. The founding of the People's Republic in 1949 marked China's entry into the socialist stage. During the long period of historical development, the industrious, courageous, and intelligent Chinese people of all nationalities collectively created a great civilization. They made great contributions to all of mankind.
