The monochrome green glazed celadons of China – the dominant decoration style
of Chinese export ceramics until the Ming dynasty have never been exported to
Europe. When the Chinese-European trade started during the late Ming dynasty they
had already lost a lot of their appreciation in China and when Qing Emperors
rediscovered them and imitated the old shapes and glazes, China had already lost its
European market. However, in the first half of the 20th century, many European
ceramic artists were influenced by the old Chinese celadons. In the Art Deco ceramics
of France and Belgium we can find the craquele glaze of Song dynasty ceramics and
the modern Bauhaus potters experimented with the colored celadon glazes. Studio
ceramic artists in Denmark and other Scandinavian countries are often applying green
and bluish green glazes on their pottery. Even this traditional ceramic art of China
became a heritage to Europe.
