Baishewu Kiln

Baishewu Kiln

　　Located in Baishewu Town, Nanfeng County, Jiangxi Province today, hence the name Baishewu Kiln. It was a kiln specializing exclusively in the production of Qingbai porcelain

The earliest record of it appears in the Yuan Dynasty text *Tao Jilu* by Jiang Qi, which mentioned this kiln as a competitor to Jingdezhen. Discovered in the 1960s and further investigated in the 1970s, it was confirmed to be a kiln solely dedicated to Qingbai porcelain. Production began in the Song Dynasty, with the main items fired being plates and bowls, along with ewers, saucers, boxes, and pillows. The decorations were mostly carved, including carved designs of moon and plum blossoms, as well as soy-saucer-rim carved bowls—features not seen in other Qingbai porcelain kilns. (Nanfeng)
