請問黃金閱讀5.3 Chinese Pottery - 英檢

在黃金閱讀5.3 Chinese Pottery第4段：

Paragraph 4：Trade between the West and the settled and prosperous Chinese
dynasties introduced new forms and different technologies. One of the most
far-reaching examples is the impact of the fine ninth-century AD. Chinese
porcelain wares imported into the Arab world. So admired were these pieces
that they encouraged the development of earthenware made in imitation of
porcelain and instigated research into the method of their manufacture. From
the Middle East the Chinese acquired a blue pigment—a purified form of
cobalt oxide unobtainable at that time in China—that contained only a low
level of manganese. Cobalt ores found in China have a high manganese content,
which produces a more muted blue-gray color. In the seventeenth century, the
trading activities of the Dutch East India Company resulted in vast
quantities of decorated Chinese porcelain being brought to Europe, which
stimulated and influenced the work of a wide variety of wares, notably Delft.
The Chinese themselves adapted many specific vessel forms from the West, such
as bottles with long spouts, and designed a range of decorative patterns
especially for the European market.

12. The word these in the passage refers to
○ religious ceremonies
○ descriptions
○ types of ware
○ pots

這邊是問第四行的"these"指涉為何？黃金閱讀給的答案是2, descriptions

但我覺得很奇怪，被"so admired"應該是pots , 而不是descriptions?

不知道可否請版上高手指正？


以上，

謝謝
