The Chinese ceramic wares occur in different parts of the country in early medieval levels. They can be divided into two groups viz., i) the Celadon and ii) the Porcelain. The former also is a glazed pottery but can be distinguished on account of its greenish colour. It is roughly coloured with crackled surface. The other variety is usually white coloured with paintings in blue, sometime stamped with the mark of the manufacturer (Fig. 8). However, in terms of time, the Celadon ware has an earlier beginning going back to 7th century A.D. Both the wares occur in India and have a datable value.
