What is the difference between celadon and porcelain?
The main difference between celadon and porcelain is its color. Typically, porcelain has a clear glaze, giving it a white color. The glaze applied to celadon lends a blue-green color to the ceramic. You'll find a variety of celadon and porcelain decorative objects and lighting on 1stDibs.
