Kinmen County Ceramic Factory Introduction
The Kinmen County Ceramic Factory, located beside the Round-the-Island South Road, was established in 1963 and is the only official kiln in Taiwan. Using high-quality porcelain clay as raw material, along with the skilled craftsmanship of artists, it has created a model for Kinmen ceramics. The porcelain produced by the Kinmen County Ceramic Factory is mainly used to hold the famous Kinmen Kaoliang liquor, making it a sought-after collectors' item among wine enthusiasts both domestically and internationally. The factory has introduced various techniques, particularly the stunning celadon decorated with floral, bird, and landscape motifs, as well as the intricately crafted solid-colored glazes. There is a ceramic museum in the factory showcasing a wide variety of ceramics, with a collection of hundreds of rare ceramic pieces, and products are available for sale. Don't forget to visit and purchase when you come to the ceramic factory. Visitors can make reservations to observe the production of wine bottles and gain a deeper understanding of the ceramic-making processes, which include molding, slip casting, trimming, biscuit firing, glazing, glaze firing, decal application, and kiln firing, and then transforming into unique artworks through painting. You can also experience DIY activities such as wheel throwing, painting, hand-building, and decal application, to personally enjoy the fun of working with ceramics.
