Chiao-tso

Another northern site where large numbers of shards have been found but at present no definite evidence of kilns, is Chiao-tso in Northern Honan, visited by Mr. Orvar Karlbeck in 1934 and in 1943 by Mr. Koyama, who prefers to call it Wu-hsiao, the name of the Department in which it lies.

Near the T'ai-hang Mountains of Honan, T'ang-yang-yu, now the headquarters of a commune brigade in the municipality of Chiao-tso in Hsiu-wu County, was once the site of a thriving pottery centre in the Northern Sung Dynasty.[…]Today in the rugged country out of Chiao-tso there are still some scattered kilns near the old pottery town of T’ang-yang-yu making pots for the farmers in the district.
