About MeThis porcelain small bottle has a short neck which terminates in a squared, slightly flared, thin rim. It is glazed in a mottled olive green celadon glaze which finishes at the foot of the bottle. The inside is glazed in pale blue celadon.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.
