Ru Kiln: The Pinnacle of Porcelain Charm in the Northern Song Dynasty, a Legend of Rare Celadon
●Ru Kiln emerged in the early Northern Song Dynasty and flourished in the late Northern Song Dynasty, solely dedicated to firing imperial porcelain for the royal court. Its kiln site was situated in Ruzhou, Henan. The high - quality local raw materials and superb craftsmanship gave birth to its unique porcelain - making techniques.
●Ru Kiln mainly produced celadon. The glaze was warm and resembled jade, with the "sky - blue after rain" color being particularly renowned. It featured a delicate texture, and the crackles were as exquisite as ice cracks and cicada wings. There are only over 70 surviving Ru Kiln pieces, and each one is an art treasure. It has had a far - reaching influence on porcelain craftsmanship of later generations, inspiring numerous kilns to follow suit and holding a pivotal position in the history of ceramics.
