Celadon pottery is a type of ceramic known for its distinctive pale green glaze, which originated in China during the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD). The glaze is made from iron oxide, which gives it its characteristic color when fired at high temperatures. Celadon pieces often feature intricate carvings and designs, making them both functional and decorative. This pottery style spread to other regions, including Korea and Japan, where artisans developed their own variations. Celadon is highly valued for its beauty and craftsmanship, and it remains popular among collectors and enthusiasts today.
