celadon, greenish ceramic glaze that is used on stoneware. Celadon is used both for the glaze itself and for the article so glazed. It is particularly valued in China, Korea, Thailand, and Japan. To create this ware, artisans apply a wash of slip (liquefied clay), which contains a high proportion of iron, to the body of the stoneware before glazing. The iron interacts with the glaze during the firing and colours it one of various shades of green. First made in China, celadon was exported to India, Persia, and Egypt in the Tang dynasty (618–907), to most of Asia in

I recently posted pottery in it's raw form. This photo shows what the finished product looks like. This is Korean Celedon pottery. Each craftsman has his/her own design. Those in the know can tell which artist made a pot based on the design. Often these are very subtle variations on a design. The crane is the national bird and often seen on this pottery, but each artist may make his crane just a bit different from the next artist...usually flying, legs up, legs down, one leg up, wings skewed, neck arched...very subtle.
