Among all cultural relics found in China, what we categorize as "pottery" was the first to come into being. Archeological documentation shows that the earliest pottery ware discovered so far was produced about 10,000 years ago. It is in fact a pottery jar found in the Immortal’s Cave in Wannian County, Jiangxi Province, south China. The jar is also the oldest in such conditions as to allow a restoration in its entirety.
