The Porcelain in Three Kingdoms Period

In the Three Kingdoms period (220-265)  that followed the Han Dynasty, we read of  glazed celadon ware made at Luoyang  for the use of the palace, and in the Jin  Dynasty (265-420), we have the first mention  of blue porcelain, produced at Wenzhou,  in the province of Zhejiang, the progenitor  of the sky-blue glazes tinted with cobalt which  afterwards became so famous.

The short-lived  Sui Dynasty (581-618) is distinguished for a  kind of green porcelain (lu tz’u) invented by a  President of the Board of Works to replace  green glass, the composition of which had  been lost after its introduction by artisans from  Northern India about 424 C.E.
