Established in 1963, this factory is one of the region's public enterprises. Renowned for mining the island's premium kaolin clay, it produces daily tableware and exquisite ceramic artworks for local use. Having garnered special attention from the Presidential Office as an official supplier of ceremonial gifts, it holds the distinction of being the Republic of China's sole “Imperial Kiln.”

Additionally, in collaboration with Kinmen Distillery, porcelain vessels were produced to house Kinmen Kaoliang liquor, becoming coveted collectibles among connoisseurs worldwide. From 1967 to 1982, commemorative liquor bottles for celebrations, military campaigns, and festivals were developed and manufactured, alongside standard bulk containers of 1, 2, 3, and 5 kilogram capacities, reaching peak popularity. From 1983 to 1985, it collaborated with the National Palace Museum's Technology Division and the Taiwan Handicraft Research Institute to produce antique-style art pieces. Between 1986 and 1995, it also manufactured various liquor bottles for the Taiwan Provincial Monopoly Bureau, achieving an annual production capacity exceeding two million units.
