11th–12th century · Stoneware with mold-impressed decoration under celadon glaze (Yaozhou ware) · Asian Art

Although early Yaozhou wares often had elegant light blue glazes, by the mid-tenth century most wares of this type were covered with olive-toned glazes. The reasons for the change remain obscure, though it may have resulted from the switch from wood to coal as the fuel for the kiln.
