An exhibit sign is shown, displaying information about ancient pottery and porcelain from Dali, Yunnan, China. The sign features text presented in two columns, with Chinese on the left and English on the right. The title "Foreword" is prominently displayed in both languages, centered between the columns. The text describes Dali as a region rich in ancient pottery heritage, with artifacts unearthed from the Neolithic Age through the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties. Early pottery types include red pottery with sand inclusion and grey-black pottery, often found as pots, earthen bowls, and net weights. It explains that pottery manufacturing techniques became widely used in various aspects of life after the Han and Jin Dynasties. The sign also details Dali's significance in ancient porcelain, mentioning it as home to renowned kilns like Fengyi, Yuxi, and Jianshui. Archaeological findings indicate that "primitive porcelain" appeared as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty. Abundant porcelains emerged in the Yuan Dynasty, primarily green-glazed and blue-and-white types. Green-glazed porcelains are characterized by plain, bright green surfaces, while blue-and-white porcelains feature intricate patterns with a steel-gray or occasionally bright green glaze. The text emphasizes the cultural and historical importance of these artifacts for understanding the ancient porcelain industry in Dali and related social contexts. A small "003" graphic is visible at the bottom of the sign. The background of the sign has a subtle, light-colored textured pattern.
