Jizhou kiln in Song Dynasty is a typical kiln for producing black porcelain in ancient China, and it has a history of more than 1 200 years. Among them, the most representative black porcelain is the leaf-temmoku porcelain produced by Jizhou kiln. Leaf-temmoku porcelain represents the decoration of natural wood leaves on the black glaze, and the leaf ash reacts with the glaze layer to form leaf patterns with distinct stems and leaves in the firing process. At present, the research on the leaf-temmoku porcelain mainly focuses on the testing analysis of composition and imitation angle, but there are few relevant reviews on the overall technology and development view. Hence, chemical composition, leaf species, porcelain making process and color formation mechanism were summarized and analyzed in this paper, which play a positive role in analyzing the Jizhou kiln leaf-temmoku porcelain and its inheritance.
