Sanqiankou Porcelain Workshop

　　The Sanqiankou Porcelain Workshop was first built during the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty. It operated through the Republican era and continued production even after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, ceasing operations only in 1997.

　　It currently has one dragon kiln, eleven water-powered trip hammer mills, over forty clay-wheel workshops, seven sets of washing pools, as well as several sets of pottery wheels and tools. The existing dragon kiln was rebuilt in 1962 and remains in use today, preserving its historical appearance. The entire traditional production process of the workshop — including raw material extraction, crushing, washing, forming on the wheel, decoration, glazing, firing, and unloading from the kiln — is well preserved. The residential buildings in the workshop area also retain their original historical features.

　　The facilities and traditional production techniques of the Sanqiankou Porcelain Workshop hold significant reference value for understanding ancient porcelain production, business models, and economic structures. It serves as a living specimen that recreates the traditional porcelain-making process.

　　In 2006, the Sanqiankou Porcelain Workshop, as a historic building from the Qing Dynasty, was listed in the sixth group of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level by the State Council.
