These pictures show a change in the color of Chinese celadon from the third to twelfth century. It was greenish brown (first photo) in the third to seventh century but evolving to opaque bluish green (second photo) through to the eleventh to twelfth century. I wondered how many potters had been involved in this color changing process...

全て青磁。でも時代で色が違います。2枚目の薄青緑の皿を除き、後は全て3世紀から7世紀に焼かれたもの。別の焼物のようです。
2枚目の薄青緑の皿は汝窯青磁（11～12世紀）。今でもその色を目指す陶芸家がいるほどの美しさです。汝窯の「青」に到達するまで何人の陶工が関わったのかと思うと気が遠くなります。東京国立博物館に展示されています。
