Hi Everybody!

I goofed, when I stated, "The Asian Museum in San Francisco spells this word
with an "e," as well as other respected museums with pottery of ancient asian
origin."

After checking a few of the museum web pages I have, the words "celadon" and
"celedon" are both used! So I take it that this is one of those "two
spellings fit one meaning" word.

Nonetheless, I choose "celadon," like Tom, since that spelling seems to be
used most often.

Best wishes!
