The celadon of the Song Dynasty is characterized by its more natural greenish glaze, which emphasizes understated elegance and refined beauty. In contrast, the Yuan Dynasty saw technological advancements and cultural diversity that led to the emergence of a brighter, more transparent, and sometimes deeper oceanic shade of jade-like glaze. This deeper ocean color reflects the progress in glaze technology during the Yuan Dynasty, combining with a jade-like luster to offer a unique aesthetic value.
