Abstract

AbstractThe Smederevo Fortress served successively as the capital of the medieval Serbian state and the seat of the Smederevo Sanjak from 1427 to 1512, assuming great political and military significance. Five shards of Chinese celadon were excavated from the Smederevo Fortress of Serbia in the 1960s. Analysis by X‐ray fluorescence spectrometry of these celadon pieces has revealed that they date back to the Yuan dynasty and were crafted in Longquan County, Zhejiang province, China. The Longquan celadon signified outstanding financial or political values and was treasured by the local royalty or the elite of the Smederevo Fortress.
