Celadon Buddha Plaque

Description

This Celadon Buddha Plague melds Buddhism’s past with that of the ancient art of Celadon pottery making.

Buddhism was founded in India during the 5^th century B.C. by Siddhartha Gautama after he attained enlightenment. The art of Celadon pottery began in China, during the Han Dynasty, China’s second imperial dynasty that spanned from 25 to 220 A.D. The term Celadon possibly stems from the Sanskrit words for green and stone, sila and dhara. Celadon pottery’s unique coloring beautifully embodies nature, especially the prized Chinese stone—green jade.

This Buddha plaque’s overall coloring is gray-green with a superb hand-painted tableau featuring Buddha. It is sure to complete any Buddhist worshiper’s environment, travelers impressed with the Buddhist culture or any number of countless art lovers throughout the world.
