Nixing pottery, together with Yixing purple clay, Jianshui pottery, and Rongchang pottery, is known as one of China's Four Famous Ceramics. Its firing techniques are a national intangible cultural heritage, and it is valued for being unglazed, for kiln-transformation effects, and for carved decoration.
