Abstract

During the reign of Emperor Wudi of the Western Han Dynasty, lead-glazed pottery was successfully fired in China. Compared with previous pottery, glazed pottery was more suitable for use because of its advantages of low water absorption and high finish. However, in the world, the use of glazed pottery technology first appeared not in China, but in ancient Egypt, so there is also a saying that the lead glaze technology on the Han Dynasty pottery was spread from the western regions, rather than the invention of Chinese craftsmen. In this article, the author will try to make a comparative study and analysis of lead-glazed pottery in Han Dynasty and ancient Egypt from the aspects of process principle, product use and aesthetic fashion.
