Sanqingkou Porcelain Workshop

The Sanqingkou Porcelain Workshop is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.

The Sanqingkou Porcelain Workshop is located in Fengshi Village, Xiakou Town, Jiangshan City, Zhejiang Province.

The workshop was first built during the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, continued operating through the Republican era, and remained active after the founding of the People's Republic of China until production stopped in 1997.

There is currently one dragon kiln, eleven water-powered pestle mills, over forty pottery workshops, seven sets of washing pools, as well as a number of pottery wheel tools. The existing dragon kiln was renovated in 1962 and remains in use to this day, preserving its historical appearance. The entire traditional production process—including raw material extraction, crushing, washing, molding, decoration, glazing, firing, and unloading—is well preserved. The residential buildings within the workshop area also retain their original historic character.

The facilities and traditional production techniques of the Sanqingkou Porcelain Workshop hold significant reference value for understanding ancient porcelain manufacturing methods, business operations, and economic nature. It serves as a living specimen showcasing the ancient porcelain-making craft process.

In 2006, the Sanqingkou Porcelain Workshop, recognized as a Qing Dynasty architectural structure, was included in the sixth batch of National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units by the State Council.
