CELADON FROM THE SONG DYNASTY

Just want to share this Celadon jarlet from the SONG DYNASTY and how detailed the chinese were when it comes to their craft

This 2 ear celadon jarlet with a lizard design was found and excavated by a fisherman, near a riverbank in Western Mindanao, Philippines. According to the fisherman, he was excavating a hole for a  wooden foundation for a hut when he struck something hard and heard something broke (not this 1), at first he thought it was just a piece of rock but when he inquired further, he found it to be something else! This jarlet is part of the find. 

CELADON - a generic term for green-glazed wares in Chinese ceramics. 

FROM THE 13TH-14TH CENTURY

Material: Stoneware

This kind of ceramics were really prized by the ancient chinese civilisation for they are normally found in ancient tombs in china. This ware is highly esteemed in China for their lustrous green tone that resembles jade.
