Faience is a kind of ancient ceramic product which was widely found in many areas. Chinese faience appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 BCE—771 BCE). Wanfunao Site is located in Yichang, Hubei Province. The radiocarbon dating results of a series of samples show that Wanfunao Site dates mostly to the Western Zhou Dynasty. The faience beads have been excavated from Tomb M8 of the site. In this work, some of the faience beads were chosen as samples for study. Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS) were applied to the analyses of microstructure and composition. The results show that some of the faience beads may have been manufactured locally in China, but for the others of these samples, because of corrosion, the flux in the glaze was below the detection limit. Based on the previously-published scientific research on faience products in the Western Zhou Dynasty and combined with relevant evidence of archaeological excavation, from the perspective of the way faience products were used, this research attempts to explore the role that faience products played in the progress of ancient spiritual civilization and the development of faience products in China.
