Original manifacturer produced during the Liao Dynasty (907–1125). The pottery produced in Manchuria under the Liao occupation continued the tradition of Tang whiteware and three-colored ware. Liao potters produced their own unique shapes, which included long-necked vases, cockscomb vessels, ewers with phoenix-headed mouths, and flattened flasks made in imitation of animal-hide bags for liquor or milk.
