Antique Chinese pottery art is the best example of the dedication, hard work and the skill of Chinese potters centuries ago- even before Asian civilization evolved. When it comes to beauty, designs and durability, Chinese potteries are the unique specimens that make China a genius in creation. The antique Chinese pottery depicts beautiful and unique arts that stand above the contemporary Chinese potteries of today in terms of its looks, color depths and price. The antique Chinese pottery art includes beautifully engraved or hand painted images of flowers, leaves, animals, figures like dragons, warriors, beast and phoenix, war illustrations and many other traditional attributes.
The ancient Chinese potters used natural colors usually reddish brown, shamrock or green, yellow, red etc. It was during the Yangshao culture that the painted pottery technique came into being. Tricolor glazed potteries were created during the Tang dynasty and purple clay potteries were produced in Song dynasty.
