Crakle Celadon.
The green colored glaze is achieved by a mixture of wood ash fired into the clay, giving it its characteristic color and cracked texture. In ancient times, celadon ware was believed to change color when it came into contact with poisoned food.
In the 13th century, Thai King Ramkamhaeng the Great visited China and brought pottery and potters to Thailand. Since then, it has been produced in large quantities in the Sukhothai era. The process is called Sangkalok or Celadon.
