Timeline

1. 1251Jingdezhen Hutian Kiln and Xianghu Kiln · JingdezhenIn the late Southern Song Jingdezhen kilns were densely packed and qingbai output reached a historic peak; official and private kilns both thrived, with products going via the Gan river to the Yangtze and then by sea, or overland to cities like Lin'an, while large quantities were exported to Champa, Java, India, and elsewhere.
2. c. 1258Jingdezhen · JingdezhenIn the late Southern Song qingbai glaze leaned blue and bodies were thin, with incised and molded techniques becoming more elaborate; common forms included sunflower-rimmed bowls, melon-lobed vases, and powder boxes, while kiln site finds indicate that division of labor and standardized production had emerged by this time.
