Overview"Ice crack pattern", also known as cracked porcelain, is a variety of ancient Longquan celadon. As a special decoration of porcelain, the products of Ge Kiln in the Song Dynasty are the most famous. Among the various glaze cracks of Ge Kiln, "ice crack" ranks first, and is known as "the quality of Ge Kiln, with ice crack as the best pattern". Because of its unique cracking during the firing process, it shows infinite natural beauty. It is a pity that the technology of firing "ice crack" was lost after the Song Dynasty. Because it is lost and because there are very few real objects. Therefore, restoring celadon ice cracks has become a thousand-year mystery. Nowadays, after five years of painstaking research and development, Ye Xiaochun, a native of Longquan, Zhejiang, resurrected the "Ice Crack", a treasure of Ge Kiln that had been lost for nearly a thousand years, in April 2001, making this thousand-year-old porcelain shine again.
