Green glaze is a traditional color glaze in China. It is made by using a small amount of iron oxide as a colorant and fired by a high temperature reduction flame. The glaze color is light and implicit, like ice and jade, and is deeply loved by people. During the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty, blue-glazed porcelain further developed and became more skilled in glaze color control technology, firing a large number of rare blue-glazed porcelain such as pink, holly and emerald green.
