One very interesting accessory used by a home décor enthusiast is the vase. Vases have a unique history. In the beginning, vases were made out of stone and were used merely for practical pursuits. Pottery vases seem to have been first used during the Persian Empire. Archaeologists have found bits and pieces of vases and have put them together to form the original vase shape. Then there were the Greeks who were one of the first to put decorative embellishments on their vases. Vases have truly come a long way from the original stone vase, to the modern vases that we see today.

Among the most delightful and recognizable of styles of pottery are the Tang horses and tomb figures. Moreover, Tang potters made another contribution of much greater significance in ceramic history. It is their discovery of the thin white translucent ware known as porcelain. These items are made with white china so thin that its translucent form, it makes a ringing sound when struck.  From there porcelain vases have emerged and now considered as one of the most valuable pieces of pottery.
