Production notes
Marbled wares of mid-Tang - Yuan dynasties were made principally in Henan, Hebei and Shandong. The technique of marbling was first included in the potter's repertoire during the early 8th century when artists were introduced to marbled glassware brought from the Near East, particuarly Persia, as a result of the trade along the Silk Road. The technique called jiao tai (mixed clay) or jiao yu (mixed glaze) involves the mixing of different coloured clays or glazes. The jiao tai method is done in a number of ways such as twisting, rolling or stacking two contrasting coloured clays together so they form a decorative pattern. The clay is then cut in cross sections, rolled flat or shaped, then covered with a transparent glaze and fired.
