Longquan celadon () is a type of green-glazed Chinese ceramic, known in the West as celadon or greenware, produced from about 950 to 1550. The kilns were mostly in Lishui prefecture in southwestern Zhejiang Province in the south of China, and the north of Fujian Province. Overall a total of some 500 kilns have been discovered,[2] making the Longquan celadon production area one of the largest historical ceramic producing areas in China.
The Longquan kiln is one of the six famous kiln clusters of the Song Dynasty (960-1279). It was named so because the famous celadon wares are produced in the Longquan City of Zhejiang Province. The Longquan celadon first appeared during the Three Kingdoms (220-280) and Jin Dynasty (265-420), and achieved its zenith in the middle and later period of Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279). Its craftsmanship has aggregated the achievements of traditional Chinese porcelain making. Its elegant styles and glazing color make it a paradigm of the Song ceramic wares.
The most striking feature of the Longquan celadon is its greenish or grayish blue glaze, which resembles the quality of jade. The body of Longquan celadon is rough and heavy, and the wall is relatively thick. The glaze is relatively thin, in a range of colors, such as plum green, pink blue, pea green, and crab-shell blue. Generations of Longquan celadon makers spared no effort to make the glaze as perfect as jade. Many celadon wares produced in famous kilns have been lauded by famous scholars and men of letters. However, only the Longquan celadon wares with plum green and pink blue glaze can be compared with the quality of jade. They both feature thick and opaque glaze, which give a lustrous and gentle effect.
