About MeThis porcelain small bottle vase is glazed all over in a pale blue-green celadon glaze and decorated with subtle bands of colour. Celadon is a type of glaze which originated in China. It is frequently found in shades of pale green, however colours can range from pale pearl blue to dark olive green depending on the quantity of iron oxide added to the glaze before it is fired.
