The Chien ware was undoubtedly first manufactured in the region of Chien-ou (formerly Kien-ning Fu) situated on the Min River approximately 160 miles from Foochow. The shifting of the manufacture of this ware to the present age-old kiln sites far removed from Chien-ou was very likely due to the presence of a more ample supply of the peculiar kind of clay in the Chien-yang region from which the ware was made.",
