According to the analysis of archaeological data, celadon and white porcelain were fired in Jingdezhen Kiln in the Five Dynasties, with a rough texture. In the Song Dynasty, blue-and-white porcelain was changed to be fired, which stood out with excellent quality and huge output. The blue and white porcelain body is thin and hard, and the glaze color is as blue as the sky, so it is commonly known as “shadow green”, which has a kind of aesthetic feeling similar to the blue and white jade
Blue and white porcelain is a kind of porcelain with thin and hard body, white glaze in blue, blue in white, and natural blue and white jade effect. Because this kind of porcelain has a good light transmittance, if you look at it in Yangon, the patterns printed and carved on it can be seen inside and outside, so it is commonly known as “shadow celadon”. Because this kind of porcelain “light to beauty” was sold at home and abroad in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and was deeply loved by people, a huge production system of celadon and white porcelain represented by the Jingdezhen Hutian kiln was formed in the southern region.
