About this exposition

This dissertation focuses on the research of celadon glazes—historically renowned but challenging for modern ceramicists to reproduce. The aim is to thoroughly describe and quantify the firing process, particularly the reduction phase, which is essential for achieving the characteristic green-blue shades. Emphasis is placed on the chemical reduction of iron and the control of kiln atmosphere. The study also incorporates the use of local Czech raw materials and the development of a special gas-electric kiln with atmospheric control. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of traditional techniques and their accurate replication under modern conditions.
