Celadon

Celadon is the name given to a family of glazes that developed over a long period of time in China, reaching its nadir in the work produced during the Song dynasty. The glaze colour ranges from soft blue through to strong green (but never bright green). It is usually a very quiet, subdued glaze, with great depth due to minute bubble development; sometimes soft and luminous and in others it can be bright and transparent.
