Historical Significance
Ru ware represents the pinnacle of Song Dynasty (960-1279) ceramic artistry. Originally produced exclusively for the imperial court, these pieces were so valued that even rejected pieces were highly prized by the elite. The distinctive sky-blue glaze was inspired by the color of the sky after rain, embodying the refined aesthetic sensibilities of classical Chinese culture.
