Song Dynasty kilns, such as those in Longquan, Ding, Jun, and Jian, were centers of experimentation and artistic innovation, advancing kiln technology, glaze effects, and the training of potters, leading to a diversity of high-quality ceramic styles.
The Yuan Dynasty's ceramic production was characterized by the emergence of Jingdezhen as the dominant center for porcelain, along with other important kilns like Longquan, and innovations in kiln technology, all of which contributed to the advancement of Chinese ceramic arts.
While blue and white porcelain rose to prominence, celadon wares continued to be produced during the Yuan Dynasty, though often with some modifications in style and technique from the Song Dynasty. These later examples of celadon ware demonstrate the continuing importance of this style, even with the arrival of new design trends.
