漳州窯研究至今已二十年，其窯址的考古調查始於 1984年， 1994─1998年進行三次考古發掘， 1997年出版《漳州窯》考古報告書。此外，在中國福建漳州、臺灣以及日本、東南亞、西亞與東非等地的考古遺址，中國廣東、西沙群島以及東南亞等海域以及大西洋的古代沉船都發現有漳州窯的陶瓷器。海內外的漳州窯研究已發表一系列研究成果。目前漳州窯研究存在的問題包括對漳州窯窯業遺存的系統調查及其資料的整理，對漳州窯窯業遺存的歷史與現存狀況的分析，關於漳州窯的歷史分期與年代、貿易港口和路線及其與“克拉克”瓷的關係，漳州窯窯業技術在國內外的傳播與影響，以及漳州窯的歷史地位等等。由於漳州窯研究的國際性，應組織學術團隊、確立相關課題、加強合作交流。

It has been 20 years since the research on Zhangzhou kiln commenced, with the archaeological survey began in 1984. There were 3 subsequent surveys conducted between 1994 and 1998, while a report was published in 1997. On the other hand, porcelain produced by Zhangzhou kiln was discovered in relics in Zhangzhou, Taiwan, Japan, South East Asia, West Asia and East Africa, as well as the waters of Guangdong, Xisha islands and South East Asia and sunk vessels in the Atlantic Ocean. A series of research findings were reported at home and abroad. At present, the issues surrounding the research of Zhangzhou kiln include systematic surveys of the corresponding industrial heritage, compilation of information, analyses on the past and present of the kiln industry, the division of historical period of the kiln, trading ports and routes and their relations between the kiln and kraak porcelain, the dissemination and influence of the porcelain production techniques, the historical role of the kiln, etc. Given the international nature of the research, academic teams should be organised to establish the relevant topics and to enhance cooperation and exchanges.
