TONG'AN Kiln
The Fujian Tong'an Kiln was one of the prominent kilns in Fujian Province, China, active from the Song to the Ming dynasty, producing primarily celadon and white porcelain. The kiln developed particularly during the late Song and Southern Song periods, known for creating ceramics with glazes that became recognized in Japan as "JUKO Celadon". These products were highly valued by tea masters, such as Murata Juko, and played a significant role in the development of Japanese tea culture.
Located along the Fujian coast, the Tong'an Kiln was strategically positioned near Quanzhou Port, a major hub for maritime trade during the Song dynasty. The establishment of the Shibosi (Maritime Trade Office) in the Song dynasty facilitated the growth of the ceramic trade, leading to the kiln's further development and increased exportation of its goods to East and Southeast Asia.
The kiln's peak was during these centuries, but like many other ancient kilns, it eventually declined, likely during the later Ming dynasty as production shifted and other regions like Jingdezhen gained prominence.
