龙泉窑是中国历史上的一个名窑，宋代六大窑系。汉族传统制瓷工艺的珍品。因其主要产区在浙江省龙泉市而得名。它开创于三国两晋，结束于清代，生产瓷器的历史长达1600多年，是中国制瓷历史上最长的一个瓷窑系，它的产品畅销于亚洲、非洲、欧洲的许多国家和地区，影响十分深远。

龙泉青瓷的烧制始于1700多年前，宋代达到鼎盛。是中国乃至世界陶瓷史上烧制年代最长、窑址分布最广、产品质量要求最高、生产规模和外销范围最大的青瓷历史名窑之一。

龙泉青瓷传统上分“哥窑”与“弟窑”。哥、弟窑之说来自明代记载：“宋处州龙泉县人章氏兄弟均善治瓷器。章生二所陶名章龙泉，又名弟窑。章生一之哥窑其兄也。”是否真有兄弟二人，已无可考，但说明了两种不同的龙泉青瓷产品：一种是白胎和朱砂胎青瓷，称“弟窑”或“龙泉窑”，另一种是釉面开片的黑胎青瓷，称“哥窑”。

“哥窑”出现于南宋中晚期，与著名的官、汝、定、钧并称为宋代五大名窑，特点是“胎薄如纸，釉厚如玉，釉面布满纹片，紫口铁足，胎色灰黑”。“哥窑”以瑰丽、古朴的纹片为装饰手段，如冰裂纹、蟹爪纹、牛毛纹、流水纹、鱼子纹、膳血纹、百圾碎等加之其釉层饱满、莹洁，与釉面纹片相映，更显古朴典雅。此类产品以造型、釉色及釉面开片取胜，因开片难以人为控制，裂纹无意而自然，天工造就，更符合自然朴实、古色古香的审美。
