Rande Bly of Birmingham, Alabama sends this piece along about the color “Celadon”

I am so glad we have identified Celadon Green. I sent Marshall Ketchum an e-mail on October 29 of 2010 to share with him my original color add showing the color I was calling Celadon Green. He said he had a goblet in this color he would have tested in the upcoming spring by Dr. Greg Merkel. We now have the results and we are certain. Thank you Greg. Here is the photo of the original color ad I shared with Marshall last year.

A search of the www.cardersteubenclub.org web site shows the one image identified by Dr. Greg Merkel by X-ray florescence as Celadon
