Celadon is
a kind of high fired stoneware with a wood and ash glaze
which is handmade by a traditional process. Discovered
in China more than 20 centuries ago, potters are believed
to have been brought to Thailand from China by King
Ramkamheng around the year 1300.
The name Celadon means green
stone and it has a unique glaze. Celadon is not only
thick and strong but also delicately cracked under its
glaze. The cracks are caused by a difference in the
contraction between the body of the Celadon
product and the glaze when the product is cooling. Its
crackle creates its unique beauty and value.
