‘Celadon’ is one of my favorite colors. I love to bring in a touch of celadon in a room. In a classic or in a contemporary styled interior, it always work!
‘Celadon’ is a term for ceramics denothing both a type of glaze and a ware of a specific color, also called celadon. This type of ware was invented in ancient China, primarly in Zhejiang Province.

One of the theories is that the term is a corruption of the name of Saladin (Sala ad-Din), the Ayyubid Sultan, who in 1171 sent forty pieces of the ceramic to Nur ad-Din Zengi, Sultan of Syria.
Celadon glaze refers to a family of transparant glazes, many with pronounced cracks in the glaze, produced in a wide variety of colors (including white, grey, blue and yellow), generally used on porcelain or stoneware clay bodies.
Celadon glazes have such popularity and impact that pieces made with it are often referred to as “celadons”.
Today I want you to show how to bring in the color of celadon in your home. There is a wide range of possibilities to do that!
