Also called Jizhou kiln. It was located in Yonghe Town, Luling County, Ji’an Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, China. The porcelain produced by the Yonghe kiln was white and purple.
The purple ones are thicker and coarser in texture, similar to the purple wares. In the Song Dynasty, there were five kilns in this area, and it is said that the one called “Gong ware” was the best. There is another pottery kiln in this area, which was built during the Southern Song Dynasty. The clay is coarse and hard, with a thick and heavy body, and comes in two types: rice-colored and powder-blue. The clay was coarse and firm, and the body was thick and heavy, with two types: rice-colored and powder-blue. It was mistakenly called Gage ware by the general public. Some shattered wares were polished with ink or ochre, then washed and wiped, and the crack marks became black or red, making them beautiful. Some pieces are beautifully decorated with black or reddish-blue patterns, while others are decorated with blue flowers. The above is the tradition of Yonghe kilns as described in ancient documents, but recent findings have shown considerable discrepancies. (Geko Yoron, Kosai Zakki, Tang Ji Novel, Jingdezhen Ceramics)
