Large Celadon Serving Bowl
This beautifully made Celadon serving bowl would make a great addition to any table spread.
The origins of Celadon began at the end of the Han Dynasty (206 BC- 220AD) but it wasn't until the Jin Dynasty (265 - 420) that the creation of celadon excelled as an art form.
Celadon was favoured by nobles and the wealthy classes due to a myth that it would break if poisoned food or liquid was put inside. Celadon also resembles the colour of jade, which has been considered a sacred stone in China since pre-history.
