Description :

Antique Chinese Glazed Roof Eave Tile.

Glazed tiles have been used in China since the Tang dynasty as a material for roofs. During the Song dynasty, the manufacture of glazed tiles were standardized in Li Jie's Architecture Standard.[1] In the Ming dynasty and Qing dynasty, glazed tiles became ever more popular for top-tier buildings, including palace halls in the Forbidden City, and ceremonial temples (for example the Heavenly Temple).There are two main types of Chinese glazed tiles: glazed tubular tile and glazed plate tile. Glazed tubular tiles (see monk and nun) are moulded into tube shape on a wooden mould, then cut into halves along their length, producing two tubular tiles, each semicircular in section. A tube-shaped clay mould can be cut into four equal parts, with a cross-section of a quarter of a circle, then glazed into a four-plate tile.
