Scope note
Green-glazed stoneware manufactured in the kilns of Zhejiang province in southern China, with production concentrated in Shangyu, Yuyao, and Shaoxing. Developed during the Six Dynasties period, it was the first recognizable ware type in China. Yueh-yao was a highly durable ceramic often used for bowls and jars. Its popularity led to its eventual exportation to places as distant as Egypt and the Philippines.
