Jizhou Kiln: Black glaze and folk artistry of the Song Dynasty

The Jizhou Kiln, one of the most celebrated porcelain kilns of the Song Dynasty (960-1279), is located in Yonghe Town, Ji'an, east China's Jiangxi Province. As the area fell under the jurisdiction of Jizhou Prefecture during the Song era, it was named the "Jizhou Kiln." The kiln began production in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and ceased in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), firing a wide variety of wares as a comprehensive folk kiln. Jizhou ceramics are renowned for their strong local character, particularly the distinctive decorative style found on their black-glazed porcelain. The wares often used leaves or paper cutouts to create resist patterns in the glaze, by leaving parts of the body untouched.
