Historical records trace Dezhou pottery back to the Longshan Culture, with a history of roughly 6,000 years. Crafted from pure, fine and high-density clay, fired black pottery wares are sturdy and durable, featuring harmonious hues. Tapping them lightly produces a clear, melodious ring; under sunlight, the black surface shimmers with a bluish metallic luster. The pottery bodies are shaped in two ways: single-layer wheel-thrown bodies and two-layer composite bodies with a unified base. Craftsmen decorate the greenware with diverse techniques including line drawing, embossing, intaglio, relief carving, three-dimensional carving and hollow-out work, yielding a rich variety of shapes. Dozens of categories with hundreds of styles are available, such as flower pots, flower jars, brush pots, scroll tubes, brush washers, decorative hanging plates, kettles and bowls. They have become precious gifts for friends at home and abroad.
