Qili Kiln Site

Qili Kiln Site

The Qili Kiln Site is a cultural tourism attraction.

The ancient porcelain kilns of Ganzhou are located in Qilizhen, on the eastern outskirts of Ganzhou City, hence also known as the Qilizhen Kilns. The Ganzhou Kilns were among the first batch of provincial-level cultural heritage protection units announced by the People's Government of Jiangxi Province in 1957. The Ganzhou Kilns began production during the Yuan Dynasty and were one of the four major kiln sites in Jiangxi Province during the Song Dynasty. Their products were mainly for everyday use, including items such as pillows, bottles, cups, teapots, jars, bowls, plates, saucers, cups, pots, incense burners, and inkstones. The body of the products was mostly earthenware, with fewer porcelain bodies. Among the products of the Ganzhou Kilns, there is a unique item called the "slip-trailed willow-basket-patterned dotted glaze drum-stud jar."
