In the Liao Dynasty, which was founded by the Qidan nationality, the Chinese people lived by nomadism, fishing and hunting, and there was no ceramic production. With the continuous deepening of exchanges with the Central Plains, the ceramics and porcelain technology of the Central Plains were introduced into the Liao State, and gradually mastered and developed for it. The shape, decoration, firing process and other aspects of this tri-color ware can be seen from the influence of the porcelain industry in the Central Plains since the five dynasties
So far, the kilns that fired three-color glazed ceramics in the Liao Dynasty include Chifeng Gangwa Kiln in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Lindongnanshan Kiln in Balin Zuo Banner, Zhaowuda League, Liaoning Province, and Longquanwu Kiln in Beijing
