Update 1.12.1: New Style Sets

~ Sebastianul ~ 9 Comments

During the third Common Test of Update 1.12.1, several new styling sets were added. Probably dedicated to the Asian server.

Celadon

Style treated as non-historical, valued at 1,250 gold. Available for vehicles of all nationalities and tiers.

Description:

— An all-season style inspired by Korean pottery art.

Traditional Korean Celadon has unique decorative elements. It is created using a unique technique of inlaying patterns on the surface of the celadon, known as Sanggam in Korean, that was developed in the 12th century. Korean potters engraved the surface of the celadon piece with the pattern and filled it with different colored clay to decorate it. Once the pieces dried out, they were covered with a celadon glaze that consisted of plant ash and finely crushed porcelain stone. The chemical composition of the glaze contained a small amount of iron oxide that created an unusual green tint after the pieces were fired. Continue reading “Update 1.12.1: New Style Sets” →
