Lovely vase in marvellous condition without any chips, cracks or defects whatsoever. Celadon is one of three main types of ceramics in Thailand. Its production has continued to develop from its early beginnings 700 years ago until the present. Sukhothai – the capital of the first Thai Kingdom – was the production center of the greenish-glazed stoneware known as “Sangkhaloke” wares. The name’celadon’ derived from two Sanskrit words:’sila’, meaning’stone’, and’dhara’, meaning’green’. Therefore,’Celadon’ means green stone. Celadon comes in many shades and styles, being found in tones of light and dark gray, honey yellow, green and green-yellow, olive green, blue-green and brown. As celadon is a man-made product which depends upon the skills and experience of craftsmen, it is valuable. Because of its attractiveness, celadon is used both for home decoration and everyday use. Cooking and serving with celadon ware is recommended, even in a microwave oven, since no chemicals are used during production. Celadon is a Thai art and craft which is closely related to Thai culture and tradition from ancient times till nowadays. The traditional process from our Thai forefathers and the skills in today’s production constitute a valuable and important heritage for the future generations.
