Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory / 景德镇御窑厂

The Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory / 景德镇御窑厂 is the court-production institution in No.213 景德镇往事:千年“世界瓷都”的前世今生. The episode says the Ming court established the imperial ware factory near Zhushan, while the Qing-era name “御窑厂” became familiar for the palace-focused porcelain system.

The factory matters because it makes Imperial Kiln System / 御窑体系 concrete. Court standards, workshop subdivision, reject destruction, rare pigments, record keeping, outsourcing, and people such as Tang Ying / 唐英 show that official porcelain relied on the surrounding Jingdezhen Porcelain Production System / 景德镇瓷业生产系统 rather than replacing it.
