In his famous work Cha Jing (The Classic of Tea), Lu Yu, hailed the sage of tea from the Tang Dynasty (618-907), mentioned the yellow-glazed tea sets produced at Shouzhou kiln.

The kiln site is in Huainan, East China's Anhui province, that once fired ceramics coated with primarily yellow, grayish-green and black glazes. The heyday of production at the kiln was in the Sui (581-618) and Tang dynasties.

A Shouzhou kiln-made jar is now on show at a donation exhibition at Anhui Museum in Hefei, the provincial capital. It was donated by Xu Chuanxian (1920-2001), an official and avid collector who donated objects of various kinds to museums in his lifetime.

The exhibition shows over 130 artworks that have been donated to Anhui Museum by generous collectors like Xu, including ceramics, paintings and calligraphy works, and bronze and lacquer ware. The exhibition ends on Feb 5.
