Vase with celadon glaze
In the late thirteenth century, some of the kilns at Longquan measured more than one hundred metres long. This size enabled potters to fire tens of thousands of celadons at a single setting. The success of the kilns encouraged economic prosperity in the region. People worked in numerous supporting industries: supplying fuel for the kilns, preparing the raw materials, and transporting the finished goods. This vase is surprisingly heavily-potted.

青釉瓶
在十三世紀晚期,龍泉窯一些窯爐的長度已經超過了一百米,因此能夠在入窯時一次性燒造成千上萬件的青瓷。這種龍窯的使用促進了這一地區的經濟繁榮,人們多從事與之相關的工作,如燃料供應、原料提供以及成品運輸。此瓶器形龐大,令人驚歎。
