Clay typically forms in saturated conditions and/or carbonic acids released by plant roots into the soil since these conditions produce alot of chemical weather which is needed for clay to form. Clay is made up of silica and either iron or aluminum oxides so it forms in areas where those minerals are common in its parent materials (Usally rocks). Red and yellow color clay comes from iron oxidization. Gray color clay is in a redox state which means its iron has moved out of the soil due to alot of water flowing through the profile over time. You will typically find a gray layer of clay over a red or yellow layer of clay since the iron has been leached out of the gray horizon into the deeper horizon. Green clay is way rarer since they need Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions to form a green color which means the formations conditions must be unique to get two different types of ions. Decomposed matter from algae and chlorophyll are thought to provide the minerals nessesary for it to form. This explains it a bit further: ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2003TrGeo...7..309V/abstract#:~:text=Green%20clay%20minerals%20are%20in,into%20a%20silicate%20mineral%20structure. ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2003TrGeo...7..309V/abstract#:~:text=Green%20clay%20minerals%20are%20in,into%20a%20silicate%20mineral%20structure. You can actually see alot of these forming factors for clay in the video which is really neat. If you are interested in finding clays don't be afraid to look for their forming factors in the environment. You can also use the Web Soil Survey in the US to find areas with soils high in clay since: websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/
And I thought the spice trade was insane...then the silk trade...then the tea trade...it just goes on and one. I suppose if single tulip bulbs used to be worth millions in The Netherlands and in the 1980s Tokyo real estate was valued as much as the Continental US, then anything goes when market commodity traders get high.
The Bainbridge family must have been quite delighted with the auction yield of £ 43 Million ( $ 55.5 Million ). I would have been quite flummoxed to realise I'd returned home often from the pub late at night, only to shake the rain off my umbrella and chuck it forcefully - point down - into this 'pot', pretending I was spearing a rat. ¡ Mein Gott !
"...in Europe you would have only seen stone-wares and earthen-wares, ...rough pots"...utter BBC smucky codswallop (should be : "In Northern Europe... "
A significant development in European ceramics was the introduction of tin-glazed earthenware in the 13th century. This technique, also known as majolica, originated in the Islamic world and was adopted by Italian potters. Majolica wares were known for their vibrant colors and decorative motifs.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin-glazed_pottery
That auction at the end, 42 million pounds in the early 2000's for an ugly vase. That vase symbolizes the journey documented here, where people wore out their bodies just to capture the fancy of some rich people long ago. Which is more amoral, the capitalists that paid but pennies to the poor souls who dragged these silly plates and knicknacks over a literal mountain - or the people around them who thought their lives wasn't worth anything more? Remember, the Europeans didn't know their toil, only the Chinese themselves. Now compare this to mines in Africa today, and look at your electronics. Are you someone who can point at anything and claim a higher moral standing?
I thoroughly enjoyed this Fascinating story from start to finish- I was a little surprized you picked a type of Vase that i think looks like it came from the dollar store🤣Beauty is in the eyes of beholder right!
Now all China can do is copy and mass produce the cheapest junk. Same story in Egypt and Greece where once they could make the most incredible artifacts, they now produce junk. How sad.
@13:33 Chinese potters did not discover porcelain in 10th century. They were taught by South Indian traders from Tamilnadu, India who had a colony in South China. Traders from Pallava dynasty taught Chinese about high end pottery making and offourse the Chinese rapidly advanced the productivity. History was distorted by its writers.
You're confusing porcelain with possibly some generic pottery skills that no one country has been attributed to as having started. Kerlain only comes from that one mountain in China in all the world. Today's replicas like feldspar are of a different composition.
@@trekon2023 @KamadoGrill When you repeat one story a million times over a long time period, you have no choice other than to believe the story. Please research on the Chinese and Pallava trade between 8th and 12th centuries. I am sure this will open a new perspective on historical evidence. Also, I am not saying this to tarnish your documentary in bbc. I have no agenda at all. Just reminding, there are facts beyond your evidence too.
The concept we typically associate with assembly lines - a continuous moving line with standardized parts and specialized workers - is generally credited to Ransom E. Olds in the early 1900s for his automobile factory. This system revolutionized mass production.
This documentary focuses on a specific period in the chinese porcelain history, However, it's important to note that Chinese porcelain has a much longer and richer history that extends far beyond the 1842 timeline
You're right, it can be surprising to see how much rural area remains in China despite its economic growth and reputation as a manufacturing powerhouse.
Thank you for posting this. I saw it when first broadcast and it's the best documentary on the manufacture and transport of Chinese porcelain i've encountered.
As a kid I used to make stuff out of clay a lot, and I'd get it from this place which had clay that was mostly yellow but had very fine filaments of blue and deep orange too, I always tried to separate them but never succeeded
@@KamadoGrill yeah it was fascinating for me. I remember being frustrated that I couldn't separate the blue clay away from the rest, I was under the firm conviction that the blue stuff was higher grade. I also once spotted some dark purple clay on the other side of that hill but I didn't wanna carry it all the way to where I had all my stuff
@@officialpottedplant8100 While separating colors by hand is difficult, there are some techniques used in pottery studios for specific situations. These methods are often complex and might not be practical for small-scale use. Sedimentation: This involves suspending the clay in water and allowing the heavier particles to settle first. However, this wouldn't necessarily separate colors based solely on color. Elutriation: This is a specialized technique that uses water flow to separate particles based on size and density. Again, not a practical method for home use.
@@roberttai646 The British opium trade with China started in the 18th century, and became a major point of contention in the 19th century's Opium Wars.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful documentary!! The research is thorough and the presentation is great!! Many thanks to the presenter. I admire his endurance through the hard work and compassion for the Chinese labours who did not leave a trace of their lives except the images in the art works!!
In the 16th century China was much more sophisticated and rich than England. This was reversed in the 19th century. But in the 21st century, England returned to occupy a subordinate position in relation to China. This obviously makes the English upper class seethe with anger and envy, but the Chinese are not to blame for the failure of the rainy island. If China ruled England it is very likely that that country would not be bogged down by the stupid austerity that concentrates wealth, depresses the economy and impoverishes and saddens the English population.
I wonder if the economic reversal could have had anything to do with the fact that the British military occupied China starting with the first Opium War in 1842 and forced the opium trade on them, then the other powers piled on and demanded the Unequal Treaties, brought Christianity which led to the Tientsin War. China suffered under occupation for over 100 years from 1842 until 1949. Imagine if that were done to Merry Olde England.
@@yomismosoyelregalo2266 while China was in a situation where it cannot reform itself.Regardless of the historical context, China and Britain are still great and respected countries.
