Chinese ceramics was once exported in large quantities to Southeast Asian, Japan and Europe. Fujian kilns were one of the main kilns where these export ceramics were made. What roles did these Fujian kilns play? What are the recent discoveries of Fujian export ceramics? Are you interested to know more about the kilns where these export ceramics were produced and the archaeological findings?
