Context:

The most prominent high-fired Tang ceramics produced in northern China were black wares from Huang-t'ao in Honan province. Many pieces made there during the 8th and 9th centuries feature blue, grey, amber or white phosphatic splashes against rich black grounds. With thick glazes that run drip and pool together in seemingly random ways, these vessels have freer, more casual appearances than contemporary monochrome ceramics with their carefully controlled shapes and colors. Moreover, Huang-t'ao wares with their earth tones and accidental glaze effects influenced Sung dynasty tea ceramics, which, in turn, greatly affected subsequent Japanese pottery traditions.
