Tiger Cave Kiln, Archaeological site in Hangzhou, China.
Tiger Cave Kiln features multiple ancient ceramic production facilities nestled between Phoenix Mountain and Nine Flowers Mountain near the Southern Song Imperial City.
The kiln served as the primary production center for Guan ware during the Southern Song Dynasty, creating ceramics specifically for the imperial court from 1127 to 1279.
Excavations between 1998 and 2001 identified this location as the historical Xiuneisi kiln, confirming its role in manufacturing ceremonial vessels for Chinese imperial rituals.
The Hangzhou Southern Song Guan Kiln Museum maintains the site and provides guided tours focusing on ancient ceramic manufacturing techniques and archaeological discoveries.
Archaeological finds at the site include celadon fragments with distinctive thick glazes in powder blue and honey tints, representing the highest standards of Song Dynasty craftsmanship.
