During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, the ceramic "Tang Dynasty Cobalt Pottery Jar"

Tang Dynasty cobalt pottery jars are a very rare type of pottery, characterized by the use of cobalt blue glaze. In the Tang Dynasty, cobalt blue glaze was very popular, but due to the high price of high-quality cobalt ore, it was usually only used sparingly. Chinese cobalt ore contains manganese, so its color tends to be darker. The glaze of the jar flows during the firing process, so it stops before the feet, which is a characteristic of Tang Dynasty lead glazed pottery. It is currently housed in the China Ceramic Museum.
