Southern Celadon (Greenish) Wares of the Song and Yuan Dynasties
The term yue generally refers to celadon-glazed wares from all periods made at kilns in Zhejiang province, which was known as Yue during the Eastern Zhou period (770 BCE–256 BCE). Otherwise, the term refers to any wares made during the Tang dynasty (618–907) when the area was administratively in Yue prefecture. Since the 200s, Yue had been the leading kiln to employ mold stamping, sculpting, and applied ornamentation. Longquan wares were mostly decorated with a bright green glaze made at kilns in Longquan, Zhejiang province, from the 900s. A majority of the output consisted of export goods, everyday utensils, and imitations of antique styles.
