Longquan Celadon
In 1717, Augustus II, the king of Saxony in Europe, exchanged 600 strong soldiers for 127 pieces of Chinese porcelain from neighboring Prussia. Among them was a Longquan celadon vase. Augustus II of Saxony was an avid fan of Chinese celadon and even built a palace specifically to cherish these treasures from the East. From the 16th to the 18th century, Longquan celadon was wildly sought after by the European aristocracy.
Its value was comparable to that of gold. Its unique glaze color and exquisite craftsmanship were deeply loved by Europeans and became precious artworks in the eyes of Europeans at that time.
