The exhibition will run until Oct 20 before being held at the Zhejiang Provincial Museum from Nov 15 to Feb 16, 2020.

Longquan celadon refers to ceramics produced at large kilns in Longquan, Jincun and other sites in Zhejiang province as well as ceramics made elsewhere using the same techniques. The making of Longquan celadon dates back to the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127).

In 2009, the firing technology of Longquan celadon was inscribed on the "Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity" by UNESCO.
