The paper deals with glazed ceramics and porcelain from the sites of the Eastern Xia (Dong Xia) (1215–1234), found in Primorye. The artifacts under study are part of a group of prestigious items of the Jurchen population. The historical conditions for the formation of a changed regional settling model in the new state formation are characterized. The origin of glazed pottery and porcelain wares are analyzed, and the place they occupied in domestic and foreign trade among the Jurchens is explained. Items made in the Jin (1115–1234) and Southern Song (960–1279) kilns are considered separately. It has been established that after the conquest of Northern China, the Jurchens retained the production of kilns of Ding wares, Cizhou wares, Chün wares, Northern celadons, and items with colored lead glazes. Products made in kilns for producing Jian (temmoku) wares, Longquan celadon, and Ch'in-pai wares came to Jin from the Southern Song. The Song imperial style proved popular among the Jurchens. In general, the considered glazed ceramics and porcelain not only characterize trade relations in Jin on the eve of the formation of the Eastern Xia in 1215, but also the preferences of the Jurchen elite. The value of glazed ware increased as a result of the new political and economic situation.
