Official Supervision, Civilian Kilns / 官监民烧

Official Supervision, Civilian Kilns / 官监民烧 is the Yuan-era production arrangement named in No.213 景德镇往事:千年“世界瓷都”的前世今生. The episode uses the 1278 Fuliang porcelain office to show that the state could supervise and order porcelain without directly owning every kiln.

The concept matters because it sits between private craft and full official factory. In Jingdezhen / 景德镇, court demand, market capacity, and skilled civilian production were linked early, prefiguring later Imperial Kiln System / 御窑体系 interactions between official orders and local workshops.
