Brightly greenful?

An explanation is due.

The name of my blog comes from the brief leaflet supplied with a gift I received when I was in Shanghai. This is an exquisite little porcelain bowl of a type called Longquan blue-green, or Longquan Celadon. The text of the leaflet is exhaustive in its explanation of the name and provenance. and descriptions of the process of manufacture and the material itself are included: the latter is described as being brightly greenful. 

Here is a brightly greenful tree in the temple of Confucius, Shanghai.
