About MeThis porcelain small beaker is glazed all over in blueish-green celadon and decorated on the outside with bands of brushed muted shades of olive green and greeny-brown.

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.
