Jinlong Kiln Introduction
Jinlong Kiln started with traditional pottery, primarily producing items such as wine jars, water tanks, flower vases, and household ceramics. It has been in operation for over twenty years. In its early days, Mr. Li Yiwu came to Taiwan from Fuzhou to start the business, and the second generation, brothers Li Mingxuan, Li Zhaoqing, and Li Zhaochun, established Jinlong Kiln. It has now passed to the third generation, brothers Li Jinming and Li Rongguo. The kiln continues to uphold traditions with handmade pottery as its main product. In the 1960s, the decorative ceramics industry rose to prominence, almost replacing traditional pottery. In recent years, the impact of industrial transformation has made it difficult for traditional pottery to find its niche. To ensure the sustainable operation of the family business, Jinlong Kiln, known for its traditional water tanks and wine jars, has innovated by creating modern and appealing lotus-shaped tanks, along with unique tableware that incorporates Hakka design elements and elegant ceramic lamps. In this beautiful garden located in the mountains, visitors can experience the joy of working with clay firsthand, understand the traditional pottery-making process through hand-throwing or hand-pinning, and create a unique pottery piece.
