Do you have something against Chinese Neolithic pottery?
Just joking, btw, do you know the folk lore behind the Copper Red glaze?

Nope, nothing against Neolithic pottery, but I could actually post more if you'd like! Honestly, though, there's some pretty interesting-looking Neolithic pottery vessels from China.
In regards to the Copper Red (Ox-Blood was it?) glaze, I'll look into that, as I'm not sure about any folk lore behind it.
A potter, in the service of "the Emperor" was getting ready to fire another kiln load of ware, in the kiln was a particular grouping of pots with a pale green copper glaze. Unknown to the potter and his staff, a pig had wondered into the kiln looking for a warm place to take a nap, while it was sleeping the kiln was closed up and firing was begun. When the kiln was cooled and opened a marvelous change had taken place, the pale copper green glaze was now a brilliant ruby red. The emperor, upon seeing these wonderful pots, immediately ordered the potter to produce an entire service for the palace. The potter and his staff tried, firing kiln after kiln, to no avail. Finally the Emperor, his patience having run out, told the potter he had one more chance, or else. The potter was at a loss, he had run out of ideas and, being an honourable man, decided to do the honorable thing, with the last kiln load ready he stepped into the kiln and ordered his staff to brick up the door and begin the firing process. When the kiln had cooled and was opened, a marvelous change had taken place!
I don't know the origin of this tale. It was told to me by my professor of Chinese Art history, Lily Yeh, to illustrate an historical explanation of reduction glazes.
