Chinese celadon

Chinese celadon is a type of ceramic ware known for its elegant, jade-like glaze that varies in shades from pale green to blue-green. Originating during the Tang and Song dynasties, it is prized for its smooth, translucent surface and fine craftsmanship. The glaze results from a unique firing process in a reducing kiln, giving it a distinctive glassy finish and subtle crackles. Celadon was highly valued both in China and abroad, influencing ceramic art globally. Its refined appearance and historical significance make it a celebrated symbol of Chinese craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
