Longquan celadon, Traditional ceramic production center in Lishui Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, China.
The Longquan celadon ceramics feature a distinctive greenish-blue glaze that covers thick-walled vessels with jade-like qualities and intricate surface patterns.
The production of Longquan celadon reached its highest level during the Southern Song Dynasty between 1127 and 1279, establishing standards for Chinese porcelain making.
The celadon glaze symbolizes moral integrity in Chinese culture, reflecting traditional values through its connection to the properties of jade.
Modern Longquan celadon production maintains specific temperature requirements up to 1310 degrees in wood-fired dragon kilns for optimal glaze development.
The term celadon entered European languages through a French novel character whose green clothing matched the color of these Chinese ceramics.
