Product Description
Celadon refers to the pale green glaze of the ancient Chinese stoneware. Celadon originated in China, where porcelains and ceramics were first invented, but it is produced throughout Asia. Each country has its own unique shade, due to slight differences in the clays and materials used to create the distinguishing green color. While ancient porcelains found in China are unglazed, celadon is perhaps the earliest example of glazed porcelain in the world. It was first used for cups and bowls in very utilitarian manner, but soon lent itself to decoration.
Bamboo is an extremely durable evergreen plant that grows vivaciously and can live for literally hundreds of years. It is not surprising that it has been considered a symbol of longevity in China for centuries. In oriental arts it is also used to express the Taoist belief in universal balance; it is strong yet yields and as such holds influence in ancient Tai Chi and Feng Shui as well as Sun Tzu's Art of War.
As celadon is technically stoneware, a dense clay ceramic, it is durable as well as dishwasher and microwave safe. Reorient has a full line of Celadon dinnerware that is sourced in northern China from some of the oldest operating factories that still produce Celadon as it was a hundred years ago, hand worked with wood and coal fired kilns. The character and quality of each item is consistent with 19th century craftsmanship and will lend the mystique of old world Asia to your dinner setting.

This review is from: Celadon covered coffee / tea mugs - asian bamboo design, set of 2
The only thing I would change on this product is to make the bottom flat (no rim) so it would make better contact with my mug warmer.
