Archaeologists Link Five Dynasties Celadon to Shanglin Lake

Archaeologists have confirmed that most celadon ceramics from the Late Five Dynasties period originated from the Shanglin Lake area. This discovery follows the identification of a specific celadon artifact as a standard for the era. The findings provide new evidence for the origin of these historical ceramics. Research indicates that the majority of Five Dynasties period Mise celadon ceramics were produced in the Shanglin Lake area. The findings suggest that these jade-like ceramics were a primary product of that specific location. The study utilizes patterns and textures found in historical pottery to establish this connection. The findings suggest that celadon remained a mainstream production type during the Song Dynasty. These pieces frequently utilized incised patterns to break monotony rather than colorful coatings. Research specifies that Song Dynasty official kiln ceramics primarily used powder-green colors and often lacked elaborate decorations, instead using incised patterns.
