Ming Dynasty Pottery & The Imperial Kiln at Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, China 中国江西景德镇窑窑

Master potters continue in the old artisan tradition of producing fine china at the Jingdezhen Museum which is the site of the Imperial Chinese kiln used during Ming and Qing dynasties.

If you are interested in handmade ceramics / china /porcelain this is definitely a must visit. Here you’ll see some of the old artists that have been plying their craft for 50+ years, some hand throwing clay others painting and designing one of a kind masterpieces like they made for Emperors.

You can also view the ancient kilns listed in the Guinness book of records as the world’s largest wood fired kiln.

The Jingdezhen Museum on the site is where the official imperial kiln used to be during Ming and Qing dynasties, Zhushan, or Pearl Hill was situated. There’s tons of shards and other finds that have been excavated and displayed around the grounds.

Jingdezhen has been dominated by the ceramics industry for more than 1,000 years, gaining the nickname "The Capital of Porcelain" after an 11th century emperor used the term in admiration of its beautiful products.

Built during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), the Zhenyao is the best-preserved ancient kiln in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province. The structure, which is also known as the "Jingdezhen kiln" because of its strong links with the city, was restored by the local administration in 2009.

The revival of traditional pottery-making techniques has resulted in renewed interest in an ancient city's kilns and provided a boost for local tourism.

    Humbling to watch these artisans at work. The patience and skill required. The silence. The grace in execution. Great video.  Nicely shot and edited. Excellent music.

      Thanks Sterling. After my visit to Jingdezhen I have a new found appreciation for Chinese porcelain. All the effort, skill and artistry involved in making a seemingly simple elegant bowl is indeed humbling and beautiful.

    The relatively high prices make a lot more sense when one sees how much skill and time goes into these pieces. So much more appealing than mass-produced items!

      @mycompasstv And, he made the wall so thin without slowing down, which was very difficult for ordinary makers.
