Cizhou ware is a type of Chinese pottery that was produced in the northern part of China during the Song, Jin, and Yuan dynasties (10th-14th centuries). It is known for its simple, rustic style and is typically made from a dark-colored, coarse-grained stoneware. Cizhou ware is often decorated with geometric patterns, calligraphy, or figures, and was used for both everyday and ceremonial purposes. It is considered to be an important type of Chinese folk art.
