Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Such boxes were made for export at the Tiankeng kiln sites in Nansheng, Pinghe county, Fujian province. These kilns, discovered in the early 1980s and excavated in 1997, primarily manufactured ‘su sancai’ glazed ceramics and boxes in particular. An identical box, described as pine-cone-shaped, was excavated there.
