Phrom Phiram District
Phrom Phiram ( th, พรหมพิราม, ) is a district (''amphoe'') in the northwestern part of Phitsanulok province, central Thailand. The district name means "the beautiful city of ''Brahma''". History In 1972 historians explored the old city area of ''Mueang'' Phrom Phiram. They found remains of the city wall, Chedi basements and Sukhothai Celadon on Phra Ruang Road from Sukhothai in Tambon Si Phirom and Dong Prakham. As that road continues eastward to Wat Bot and Nakhon Thai, the historians assumed it was the road for transportation between Sukhothai and Bang Yang. Also King Trailokanat moved his troops passing Phrom Phiram to Phichai for the war with King Tilokaraj of Lanna. The old location of Phrom Phiram was in Tambon Matum. It was created as Phrom Phiram District in 1895. The district office was moved to the right bank of the Nan River at Ban Yan Khat around 1950.

Celadon
''Celadon'' () is a term for pottery denoting both wares glazed in the jade green celadon color, also known as greenware or "green ware" (the term specialists now tend to use), and a type of transparent glaze, often with small cracks, that was first used on greenware, but later used on other porcelains. Celadon originated in China, though the term is purely European, and notable kilns such as the Longquan kiln in Zhejiang province are renowned for their celadon glazes. Celadon production later spread to other parts of East Asia, such as Japan and Korea as well as Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand. Eventually, European potteries produced some pieces, but it was never a major element there. Finer pieces are in porcelain, but both the color and the glaze can be produced in stoneware and earthenware. Most of the earlier Longquan celadon is on the border of stoneware and porcelain, meeting the Chinese but not the European definitions of porcelain. For many centuries, celad ...
