Qingfeng Black Ancient Pottery

Last updated 2026-11-11 — The Longcheng Black Pottery Factory in Shuangmiao Township, Qingfeng County, is the only manufacturer of black pottery in the Central Plains region. The black pottery crafts produced by this factory inherit and absorb the essence of Longshan black pottery and ceramic techniques from various dynasties. Drawing inspiration from the forms of bronze ware, bamboo and wood crafts, and more, they have achieved new developments and innovations. Integrating multiple sculptural techniques such as carving, modeling, relief, appliqué, incised carving, engraving, and openwork, the finished products are as black as lacquer, as shiny as a mirror, as hard as porcelain, and produce a resonant sound when struck. Their designs are simple yet dignified, elegant and graceful. These achievements have brought the craft of black pottery to an unprecedented level, earning high praise from experts, scholars, and merchants both in China and abroad. The products are exported to over twenty countries and regions, including Canada, Singapore, Australia, Japan, and South Korea.
