A Neolithic Black Pottery Stem Cup

LONGSHAN CULTURE, 3000 – 1900 B.C. A distinctive feature of the Longshan culture was the high level of skill in pottery making, including the use of pottery wheels, well-refined clays, and high-fire kilns to create thin-walled (egg-shell) polished black pottery, one of the most technically accomplished wares of the Neolithic era. This pottery was widespread in North China, and also found in the Yangtze River valley and as far as the southeastern coast. Burnished blackened earthenware 8.625 in. PRICE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST
