on celadon

While studying at Christie's Education many moons ago, I fell in love with Chinese celadon. Recently, my interest has been reawakened by modern British potters working with celadon glazes, including Edmund de Waal

and Chris Keenan (who apprenticed to Edmund de Waal):

And now my passions for pots and yarn have met in a new pair of socks knit in Madelinetosh's celadon colorway:

So while I still only dream of owning a piece of celadon ware, I can enjoy my very own celadon wear!

    Did you read 'The Hare with Amber Eyes'? Will give you my copy - it might appeal to you. I can quite see how one might fall in love with celadon.

    The colour and the ceramics are beautiful Kristina, and I love those socks! Hope to make it to Loop over Easter and choose some yarn for socks! xx

    All beautiful. And I am sitting here being wistful, wondering what it would be like to have a wardrobe of beautiful socks instead of my goofy collection...

    Jolly Hockey Sticks should lauch her own range of fashion accessories in shades of celadon - handbags, net scarfs and hats - as people would go potty for them!
