LONGQUAN CELADON: The making of glazed translucent porcelain and celadon wares with complex use of enamels became highly developed during the Song period. Longquan celadon wares were particularly popular. These were produced in kilns in the city of Longquan, located in Lishui prefecture in southwestern Zhejiang Province. Southern Song celadons display a great variety of shape and glaze color, and Japanese tea masters and collectors have treasured examples with a distinctive bluish glaze termed kinutaseiji. Chinese collectors have noted a greater variety of Longquan ware and devised a special vocabulary to describe them, such as meizi ching or "plum green" celadon. This is a very Rare and Fine LongQuan Kiln Celadon Glazed Porcelain Pair Dragon Cups from the Song Dynasty. The cups measure 16 cm in Length and 20 cm in Height.
