Remains of Pottery Kiln, Wun Yiu Village, Pottery kiln remains in Sheung Wun Yiu, Hong Kong.
The archaeological site contains clay quarrying pits, water mills, clay-soaking tanks, workshops, and dragon kilns spread across 50,000 square meters of land.
The Man and Tse clans established blue-and-white porcelain manufacturing during the Ming dynasty, with production continuing until the site closure in 1932.
The facility produced 400,000 porcelain pieces annually, including kendi water vessels that were distributed throughout Southeast Asian trade networks.
The remains feature a circular grinder measuring 3.93 meters in diameter, constructed from 14 grooved granitic slabs with a rectangular stone pillar.
The surrounding hills contain kaolin deposits that provided raw materials for porcelain production, while natural water resources supported manufacturing processes.
