Characteristics of Ge Kiln Celadon
Ge Kiln celadon, characterized by its crackled glaze and black clay body, is renowned for its exquisite and antique appeal. The decorative patterns, such as ice crack, crab claw, ox hair, flowing water, fish roe, bloodworm, and shattered ice, enhance its unique beauty. Its glaze is richly layered, crystalline, and vibrant. Due to the high iron content in the clay, the finished product exhibits the distinct “purple rim and iron foot,” harmonizing with the crackled glaze patterns to create an elegant and ancient charm. Ge Kiln celadon is considered the finest among celadon ware.
Ye Xiaochun: Master of Celadon Art
Ye Xiaochun, born in February 1964, is a Zhejiang Province Arts and Crafts Master and a National Ceramic Art Master of China. Coming from a family of celadon artisans, Ye was deeply influenced by his father, Ye Shijin, a senior arts and crafts master who dedicated over 50 years to celadon craftsmanship. Ye Shijin specialized in clay and glaze formulation, developing signature glazes like plum green, pale green, dynamic point glaze, tenmoku gold drip glaze, and pearl art glaze.
In 2001, after five years of dedicated research, Ye Xiaochun successfully revived the nearly lost “ice crack” pattern of Ge Kiln celadon, bringing this thousand-year-old art form back to life. This breakthrough garnered widespread attention from the government and media, including a feature on the CCTV program Approaching Science.
In November 2004, the “Method for Producing Celadon Ice Crack Patterns and Its Products” was granted a national invention patent (Patent No. ZL02120521.3). This achievement made Ye Xiaochun the first in Longquan celadon history to obtain a patent for an innovative invention. His works hold significant value for collectors worldwide.
