Ge ware

Ge ware is a type of Chinese ancient pottery known for its distinctive dark, often brown or gray, glaze with characteristic "jade-like" crackles or webbing on the surface. This porcelain was produced during the Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD) and is valued for its subtle beauty and technical complexity. The crackled effect results from controlled cooling and glazing techniques, giving the ware a textured, intricate appearance reminiscent of natural stone or fine jade. Ge ware is highly prized among collectors for its historical significance and unique craftsmanship, representing a refined blending of artistry and ancient ceramic technology.
