Large pots at a pottery, c.1870, Bowra collection, Bo02-049

Mass production is nothing new to China, which has always been the world’s most populous country.  Here (Bo02-049) large pots and blocks are being made, apparently in the thatched workshops.  It looks like the large pots were made in two parts (as in the foreground), and later joined to make a barrel shape.
