A Chinese ceramic neck pillow, c. Ming Dynasty.  Ancien
A Chinese ceramic neck pillow, c. Ming Dynasty. Ancient pillows were first made of natural stones and later the materials used extended to wood, jade, bronze, bamboo and porcelain. Porcelain pillows came into being with the development of porcelain-making crafts first appearing in the Sui Dynasty (581-618) and their mass production began in the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Porcelain pillows reached the climax in terms of production and use in the Song, Jin and Yuan dynasties (10th-14th century) . SIZE: see attached ruler photo.
