Unexpected Northern Origins<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Despite the earlier dominance of southern celadon<\/strong> in Chinese ceramic history, the earliest documented white porcelain<\/strong> emerged in the northern regions<\/strong> during the Northern Qi (550\u2013577 CE)<\/strong> and Sui (581\u2013618 CE) dynasties<\/strong>. This contradicts expectations, as southern kilns were more technologically advanced at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
