Scholars suggest this site may be the one described in historical texts as修内司 (xiuneisi ‘Palace Maintenance Office’) or 内窯 (neiyao ‘Inner Kiln’). Most scholars believe the Laohudong kiln was set up before the Jiaotanxia郊壇下kiln. Craftsmen at both these production sites made ritual, table and ornamental wares for the imperial court. Archaeologists excavated sherds from copies of similar slender-necked bottles with pear shaped bodies at the Jiaotanxia kiln site, beside the Wuguishan hill near Hangzhou.
