Yue kiln celadon

Timeline

1. c. 800–850Shanglin Lake · Cixi CityIn the mid-to-late Tang, the Yue kiln began producing fine celadon using special firing techniques such as porcelain saggars and full-glaze coating; the glaze was jade-like green, and archaeology shows a rising proportion of porcelain saggars at the Housi'ao kiln site, indicating heavier mise ware production tasks.
2. 868–874Famen Temple, Fufeng · Fufeng CountyDuring the Xiantong era, Yue kiln mise ware was tribute to the court; mise ware bowls and plates excavated from the Famen Temple crypt match the 'porcelain mise' record on the Clothing Account stele, confirming Yue celadon had reached tribute-grade quality with ice-like, jade-like glaze.
3. c. 880–900Yuezhou · Shaoxing CityIn the late Tang, Wuyue region Yue celadon continued to be tribute to the court; Lu Guimeng's poem 'Mise Yue Wares' praised 'seizing the green of a thousand peaks,' making mise ware the aesthetic benchmark of celadon, with glaze formulas transitioning from binary to ternary and craftsmanship becoming more refined.
