Guangdong Shiwan has a long history of ceramics production. The oldest known excavated kiln at Damao hill dated to the Tang/Song period. Some of the Shiwan ceramics wares were exported at least from the Northern Song period. Shiwan ceramics vessels of Tang to Yuan period are similar to those produced in other Guangdong kilns and not as prominent as those from Xicun or Chaozhou. However, Shiwan emerged as the most important Guangdong ceramics production centre during the late Ming period. The thriving capitalism during the late Ming period stimulated the development of handicraft industries. Ceramics production benefited from the revival of commercialism and the lifting of ban on overseas trade. Foshan was one of the four famous town in China. It was an important commercial centre noted for coal production. Shiwan which is located 6 km southwest of Foshan benefited from its proximity to Foshan.
