White Pottery with a stamped Pattern Shang Dynasty (16th—11th century BCE).


White pottery was widespread in the Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou. The earliest piece of white pottery dates to circa 5,000 BCE. The white pottery that appeared in the Shang was created from Kaolin clay, which was different to other clay types used for painted pottery and black pottery but very close in composition to the clay used for porcelain. White pottery was a transition to porcelain.
