Chien ^ yao This ware, which has already been mentioned in several pas-sages, originated at Chien-an, but the factory was subsequentlyremoved to the neighbouring Chien-yang. Both places are in theChien-ning Fu, in the province of Fukien, and the term Chien yaoderives from the character chien, which occurs in all these placenames. The beginning of the manufacture is unknown, but itcertainly dates back to the early Sung period, being mentioned. Fig. 1
