Celadon is one of the oldest glazes in the history of ceramics. It was first produced in China during the Five Dynasties (907-960) and is charaterized by the well refined jade-like glaze. The green glaze is clean, simple, and beautiful.

Here is a trivia I learnt about Celadon:

"Celadon was the hero of the French writer Honore d'Urfe's romance L'Astrée (1610), the lover of the heroine Astrée. He was presented as a young man in green and his dress became all the rage in Europe. And it was just about this time that the Chinese qingci made its debut in Paris and won acclaim. People compared its colour to Celadon's suit and started to call the porcelain "celadon," a name which has stuck and spread to other Countries."

If this question ever comes up in Trivial of Pursuit, I am sure I will score the point.
