3. "Blue and white wares” designate white
pottery and porcelain decorated under
the glaze with a blue pigment, generally
cobalt oxide. The decoration is commonly
applied by hand, by stencilling or by
transfer-printing, though other methods
of application have also been used.

21. Sets of ritual bronzes were produced for
an individual to use in ritual offerings of
food and drink to his ancestors in family
temples or ceremonial halls over tombs,
or rather ritual banquets in which both
living and dead members of a family
participated; early literary records speak
of these. On the death of the owner they
would be placed in his tomb, so that he
could continue to pay his respects in the
afterlife; other examples were cast
specifically as grave goods.
