This essay is premised on observations and examinations into the pillow collection housed at the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto), aiming to trace the technological refinements and decorative features embodied within the incised- and ink-painted-Cizhou-ware pillows manufactured during the Song and Jin eras. Cross-referenced with similar pillows from other museum collections and publications, the analyses, which have been targeted at the production processes and technological advancement that Cizhou-ware pillow firing had involved, have attempted to re-interpret the ceramic pillows fired at folk kilns bridged by artisans as the agent from the perspective of commercial commodities. Thus, such dynamic exploration would have the ceramic pillows' marketing characteristics been re-examined in the closer association with the remarkable urbanization, exceeding population growth and the prosperous urban cultural enrichment, being concomitant with the enormous commercialization from the 11th to the 14th centuries.
