About Dragon kiln: Dragon kiln is a traditional Chinese form of kiln. It is long and thin, and relies on having a fairly steep slope. The kiln could achieve the very high temperatures, sometimes as high as 1400 °C, necessary for high-fired wares including stoneware and porcelain. Some kiln were up to 60m long, allowing up to 25,000 pieces to be fired at a time. According to recent excavations in Shangyu district the origins of the dragon kiln may go back as far as the Shang dynasty (c. 1600 to 1046 BCE).
