About MeThis porcelain small gobular vase is glazed all over in a pale green-blue celadon glaze which is darker at the foot becoming almost white at the rim. 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.
