Celadon (256 words)
Colors of the celadon glaze range from blue, blue-green through many shades of green, and finally to a dark grey, depending on the thickness of the applied glaze, and the type of clay to which it is applied.
The term celadon for the pottery's pale Jade-green glaze was first applied by European connoisseurs to the wares when Longquan celadon appeared in France in the 17th century.
Celadon is also the name of a trucking company based in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving the United States and other parts of North America.
