Like other successful ceramic-producing centres, Shiwan is too hilly for a flourishing farming industry, but has plentiful supplies of wood to fuel the kilns and is close to a network of rivers for easy transportation of finished goods. Selected Shiwan pieces are signed by their makers. Connoisseurs regarded these marks as a brand of authenticity and quality. One can trace some potters’ histories using these marks through local family genealogies.
