Celadon Ware Dish |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| This dish from the Song dynasty, China (960-1279), is made of stoneware that has been stamped and incised with a delicate floral design. The dish was glazed with a transparent, iron-pigmented glaze known as celadon and then fired in a reduction kiln. The result is a subtle color that pools at the edges of the design, creating a shaded effect. Celadon ware was popular in China from the Zhou period through the Song dynasty. | ||||||
