This kiln was located in Xicun, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China, and is also known as the Guangzhou Xicun Kiln. It was discovered and investigated after the liberation of China, so the full details of the kiln cannot be known, but it is said to have produced celadon, blue and white porcelain, white porcelain, black glazed porcelain, and other types of porcelain actively from the Five Dynasties to the Song and Yuan dynasties. Many of the celadon, blue-and-white, and white porcelain wares have floral designs on the surface, and are considered one of the major kilns in South China, along with Yuezhou, Jingdezhen, and Jizhou. Because of their location, these wares seem to have been actively exported to Southeast Asia, and many have been excavated from that region, but they have also been found at sites in western Japan. In 1958, the Guangzhou Municipal Cultural Relics Management Committee published a book entitled “Remains of Ancient Kilns in Guangzhou Xicun.
