The one form of made in China product that is well known throughout theworld is porcelain, or fine china. As productivitylevels heightened, dining utensils not only underwentchanges in material and craftsmanship, but also atypical change from large to small, rough to delicate,and thick to thin.The earliest cooking utensils included earthenwareding, li, huo, zeng, yah and more. Later came moreelegant and larger successors to these utensils with the same names, but made from bronze and iron. Some of these cooking utensils doubled as vessels for food, such as the ding that was used to both cook and hold meat.
