About Celadon ...
Celadon is French word for a kind of high-fired stoneware which the surface of glaze is lustrous and jadelike. Celadon glaze were highly prized. The earliest, known as PI-S?, or "SECRET COLOR" Celadon wares were admired for their resemblance to jade, and at their best, Celadon glazes may have the look and feel of precious stone. The glazes are almost indescribable hue, ranging from a sea-green through olive-green, blue-green, yellow-green to grey-green. The Celadon glazes covered with a natural feldspathic, wood-ash glaze, in which iron is present, and fired in a reduction atmosphere to a temperature of about 1280 centigrade.
Celadon glaze refers to a family of transparent, crackle glazes, produced in a wide variety of colors, generally used on porcelain or white stoneware clay bodies. The popularity and impact of these glazes is such that pottery pieces decorated with celadon glazes
can also be known as "celadons."
In Thailand modern celadon is usually green or blue, although other versions exist. The hue may differ from light to dark. It is much finer than old celadon, but the name is often misused for pottery with a glaze obtained through a different baking process, though it may show a strong resemblance.Celadon is famous to use with Thai cuisine due to its unique Asian appearance.
