The Ceramics of the Song, Liao, Jin, Western Xia and Yuan Dynasties
(960-1368)

In the Song dynasty, the ceramic industry was so prosperous that kilns spread all over China. In order to meet export needs, kilns in coastal areas modeled on famous kilns in Inner China, thus forming kiln systems according to different crafts and styles. In the North, ceramics of the Liao, Jin and Western Xia dynasties combined the influence of the ceramic industry in Central Plains and the distinctive national features of their own.

By the Yuan dynasty, the ceramic center shifted to Jingdezhen, where emerged new varieties such as blue and white, underglaze red and color glazed porcelains.
