The Color of Jade and Ice
Celadon is a timeless form of ceramics celebrated for its stunning greenish hue. This distinctive color is achieved by applying a glaze containing a small amount of iron oxide and then firing it in a reducing atmosphere. The subtle variations in shade, from pale green to deep olive, result from the precise iron content in the glaze and the specific conditions of the firing process.
The beauty of celadon was praised by Lu Yu, the revered "Sage of Tea" from the Tang Dynasty. In his classic work, The Classic of Tea, he described the ideal celadon as being "like jade" and "like ice," considering it the perfect vessel to enhance the natural color of tea.
This teapot captures that ancient aesthetic with a modern touch. Its unique celadon glaze is the color of newborn reeds—fresh, gentle, and bright. The teapot's form is gracefully rounded, with a smooth, lustrous glaze that evokes the quiet brilliance of spring and summer.
