Angi,
Don't you just love it when a student throws you with a question you don't
know the answer to. I wasn't sure myself, but I knew where to go. According
to Nigel Wood, in his book Chinese Glazes:
" Some of the earliest examples so far found of Chinese glazed stoneware were
uncovered in the mid-1980s at an early Shang site called Yuanqu in sough
Shanxi province in northern China. The site dates to the fourteenth century
BC, and amongst a mass of rather ordinary gray and black Shang wares were
found few shards of tough, high fired ceramic, with hard, thin, greenish
glazes. These are among the earliest high-fired glazed ceramics so far
discovered in China, and also in the world."
There you go.

I am not sure because I cannot find the reference. I think I was told that
the first glazes were Egyptian Paste objects.

First place goes to the Egyptians with their self-glazing "Egyptian Paste" that
produced a soda glaze on the surface of the ware. I am not certain, but I woud
look to the Persians or Arabs for early lead-tin based glazes for earthenware and
to the Chinese for woodash glaze on high-fired ware.
