Biography

Wu Danli (吴丹砾) is a contemporary Jian Zhan maker associated with Shuiji in Jianyang, Fujian. Documentation preserved with attributed works identifies the studio name Longke Kiln (龙科窑).

Attributed works are identified through their accompanying material and the Longke Kiln studio mark.

Materials & Glaze

Attributed pieces are described as using iron-rich Jianyang clay and mineral-based glazes fired to develop metallic and crystalline surface effects. These characteristics place the work within the contemporary continuation of Jian ware’s iron-rich black-glaze tradition.

Marks & Identification

The Longke Kiln mark is an important identification point, but it should be considered together with the vessel, clay body, certificate, packaging and provenance rather than used alone as proof of authorship.
