The formation of celadon hue is mainly due to the fact that the fetal glaze contains a certain amount of iron oxide and is fired in a reducing flame atmosphere. However, some celadon is yellow or yellowish brown because of impure iron and insufficient reducing atmosphere. China called pale celadon, Emerald of Thousand Peaks, Ai Qing, Emerald Green and Pink Green in previous dynasties, all referring to celadon.
