The color comes from a trace of iron in the glaze, and it only develops when the kiln is fired in a low-oxygen \"reduction\" atmosphere. Even a small change in temperature or atmosphere can turn the glaze muddy, yellow, or brown, so a clear, even blue-green is very hard to achieve. The glaze recipes and firing methods are closely guarded kiln trade secrets, which is why authentic celadon of this quality is rare and difficult to source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to verify authenticity:\u003c\/strong\u003e every genuine piece carries the maker's mark on the base.
