Celadon pottery is a type of ceramic known for its distinctive pale green glaze, which is achieved through a specific firing process. Originating in China during the Song Dynasty, celadon became popular for its beauty and durability. The glaze is often translucent, allowing the intricate designs beneath to show through, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
This pottery is typically made from stoneware clay, which is fired at high temperatures. Celadon pieces often feature intricate carvings or inlays, showcasing themes from nature, such as flowers and animals. Today, celadon remains highly valued by collectors and is produced in various countries, including Korea and Thailand.
