The Hutian Ancient Porcelain Kiln Site is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.

Hutian Ancient Porcelain Kiln Site: The Hutian Kiln is an ancient kiln in Jingdezhen, located in Hutian Village, Jingcheng Township, southeast of Jingdezhen. Established during the Five Dynasties period, it produced celadon and white porcelain. During the Yuan Dynasty, the kiln's wares had a slight yellowish-black hue and featured classic, elegant designs, which were very popular in Zhejiang. In the Ming Dynasty, the focus was mainly on blue-and-white porcelain for civilian use. The Hutian Kiln ceased operation by the mid-Ming Dynasty, spanning over six hundred years in total and reflecting nearly seven centuries of Jingdezhen’s porcelain craftsmanship and development.
