History porcelain Celadon: Celadon is a term for pottery denoting both wares glazed in the jade green celadon color, also known as greenware. Celadon originated in China, though the term is purely European. First made in China, celadon was exported to India, Persia, and Egypt in the Tang dynasty (618–907), to most of Asia in the Song (960–1279) and Ming (1368–1644) dynasties, and to Europe in the 14th century. Celadon production later spread to other parts of East Asia, such as Japan and Korea as well as Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand. For many centuries, celadon wares were highly regarded by the Chinese imperial court, before being replaced in fashion by painted wares. In modern times, large-scale production of traditional celadon domestic wares has been undertaken at Bangkok. Ingenious copies of early ware were made in the 20th century in China, Japan, and Korea.
