Marbling, known as jiao tai in Chinese, became a polular decorative technique on ceramics of the Tang Dynasty. The marbled appearance could be achieved either by combining clays of different colours when making the vessel, or by using two contrasting slips on the surface of the vessel. In both case, the piece was afterwards covered with a transparent glaze.
