Greece and China Ancient Ceramics
The Greeks were very proud of their Art and greatly exalted the artistic quality of potters and painters. The Artist would sign the vase's name to ensure his artwork's longevity under Artist's name. The master potters were in charge of teaching pottery techniques to their pupils, who were assistants in the process of these magnificent vessels full of cultures. The apprentice will practice for many years before being able to make a piece of pottery. Helpers helped turn the potter's wheel while the master potter shaped the urn or vase, forming different designs that vary in length and depth; the sections commissioned to the apprentice to produce additional pieces such as handles—carefully assembled on each side of the amphora. Greek culture pioneered high-quality ceramics with designs that crossed Sudan's borders into India via the Trade Route. The beauty and high detail level gave ceramics a special place in everyday culture. The clay pots have different purposes but mainly mark wealthy people's graves. The person's life story is depicted in the Early geometric and orientalizing era, and the paintings are delineated in horizontal bands called registers. Later on, an Artist named Exekias, a noun among peers with astonishing talent, created a new black-figure amphora painting technique; also, the painting arranges significant figures in a panel frame, being a great craftsman.
China learned the technique of making ceramic pots from her ancestors. Characteristics of the Art originated in southern and northern China from the Neolithic to the Qing dynasty. The exchange trade of precious goods and objects and the cross-cultural exchanges of Islam and Mongolian culture enjoyed a rich artistic and intellectual diversity reflected in characteristic aesthetic behavior. The materials used were porcelain and oxide, a pigment made by hand with paint to paint ceramics. The essence of ceramics was painting. The ceramic would come to life after a series of steps to create the perfect shape and texture. Absolute perfection is essential for discipline. They were a disgrace. Any pieces that do not meet the standards must. The practice carried over thousands of years, ensuring the best quality for buyers and, above all, great significance for Ancient Art. The clarity in the contours of the painting is diverse, with landscapes that reflect the people's daily lives in these communities, these vases being a reflection of everyday life. Technology created new opportunities to scale the production of high-quality ceramic vessels. The pictures painted were valuable and detailed, of exceptional quality and delicate design. The vase's shape is fundamental since they can differ in the south or north of China.
Conclusion
The bottom line is the ceramics' quality and the profound influences of different cultures acquiring substantial knowledge in high-level Art. The similarities in the design and use of material clay use the same fire furnace process. These cultures had a positive and symbolic attitude towards what Art represents in society, magnifying the best representatives of Art in its category sharing the same ideology. The fusion of these cultures led Chinese pottery to earn respect among its peers, achieving a unique classic and traditional style that emerged among the population, on the other hand. The something so special Greek, a great color contrast used by these two cultures, will fade over time and the form will remain standing for many years.
