Chic celadon

According to the latest Elle Decoration, Celadon is this month's "in colour". Celadon is often used to describe a particular pale jade green glaze as used on porcelain and ceramic tiles. Celadon originated in the Far East, in ancient China, primarily in Zhejiang Province, hundreds of years ago. Ancient Korea celadon in particular was filled with images and symbolism such as peony blossoms, lotus flowers and phoenix's.
Have a look at some of the below images that use the Celadon green in their interiors or products. I think they look great and it is definitely a colour to use!

This wall covering is the perfect example of celadon jade green cracking.

The celadon and gold lamp here is a lovely touch to this little console.
