Description
English: Black Pottery Goblet
  • Shandong Longshan Culture
  • Late Neolithic Period (ca. 2500 - 2000 B.C.)
  • Excavated at Jiaoxian, Shandong Province, 1975

This goblet, made from a particularly thin material known as "eggshell pottery", was made in separate parts- stem and body were produced independantly and then fitted together.

Wet firewood was added to the kiln during firing at a relatively low tempurature, resulting in carbon from the resulting smoke permeating the pottery and turning it black.
