Comments:This fine pottery was thrown on a wheel and is attributed to the Longshan culture (2600–1900 BC) in the lower Yellow River valley. When these vessels were made, complex societies had developed in both the Yellow River and Yangtze River valleys. Settlements were larger than ever before and contained residential areas, workshops and venues for rituals. Luxury objects, including carved jades and fine pottery, were made by specialist craftsmen for those who could afford such symbols of wealth and authority.
