About Longquan Celadon
Longquan celadon was used in royal courts of ancient China. During Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1368-1644) Longquan celadon was introduced to Europe. Due to its exquisite beauty and jade-like feature, the celadon was valued as gold at that time. Why is it known in the western world as 'celadon’? Celadon was the hero of the French writer Honore Urfe's romance L' Astree (1610) the lover of the heroine Astree. He was represented as a young man in green and his dress became all the rage in Europe. And it was just about this time that the Chinese green ceramics made its debut in Paris and won acclaim. People compared its color to Celadon's suit and started to call the porcelain "celadon", and the name spread to other countries.......
