Ru porcelain, one of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, has a simple and elegant design. It is glazed with precious agate and has a unique color. In the history of Chinese ceramics, it is known as the "leader of Ru kiln". There is praise for the ancient tradition of agate glaze. As the light changes, the glaze color is as beautiful as "after the rain, the clouds break through" and "a thousand peaks, blue waves, and emerald colors come". The soil is fine and smooth, and the body is like a Dong body. The glaze is thick and the sound is like a bell, bright but not dazzling. The surface of the utensil is small and open with cicada wing patterns, and has the characteristics of "pear skin, crab claw, and sesame Fried Dough Twists". It is called "jade like, non jade, and superior to jade" by the world. Since the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, Ru porcelain used in the palace has been stored in the inner treasury and is regarded as a precious treasure, comparable to the Shang, Yi, and Zhou tripods.
For example, in this auction, the item "LOT 1026 Northern Song Ru Kiln Sky Blue Glazed Sunflower Wash". The Northern Song Dynasty Ruyao Sky Green Glazed Sunflower Wash is the only surviving six petal shaped basin wash of sunflowers, known for its simplicity and elegance. It is called the Glazed House, which is transparent and thick, like a pile of fat, looks like jade, and clasps like a fragrance; It is also the highest priced item in this auction, indicating people's pursuit of beauty.
List of top selling products
LOT 1026
Collection Name: Northern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln Sky Blue Glazed Sunflower Wash
Size: D: 13.5cm
Transaction price: GBP 9900000
Description: The Sky Blue Glazed Sunflower Wash from Ru Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty is the only surviving six petal shaped basin wash of sunflowers, with a diameter of 13.5 centimeters and a six petal flower style. The mouth is slightly slanted, the upper part is abundant and the lower part is converging, and the shallow belly is thin-walled. The edges are subtle, the body undulates along the edges, the circular feet are slightly tilted outward, and there are three small sesame nail marks at the bottom.
LOT 1008
Collection Name: Qing Yongzheng Blue and White Glazed Red Cloud Sea Tenglong Sky Ball Bottle
Size: H: 51.5cm
Transaction price: GBP 7800000
Description: The dragon depicted in this work is majestic, soaring between the sea and clouds, reflecting red and blue colors. It successfully combines Song painting techniques with porcelain painting as a new artistic medium, leaving viewers amazed. As mentioned earlier, the cloud dragon pattern depicted in this product is derived from the Chen Rong ink dragon painting, with a vivid charm. The sharp three toed dragon claws are particularly eye-catching and have distinct characteristics of the times. This type of dragon pattern is common in Tang, Song, and Yuan arts and crafts, while it is extremely rare in the Qing Dynasty. At this time, almost all official kilns were modeled as five clawed dragons. Looking at the reason for this, it can be concluded that this product uses Chen Rong painting as a powder, which is a unique "painting meaning" imperial porcelain. It is worth noting that the aforementioned Qianlong kiln "Blue and White Cloud Dragon Pattern Celestial Sphere Bottle" clearly states in the publications of the Palace Museum in Beijing that it was a "Xuanyao Enlarged Celestial Sphere Bottle" fired by the imperial kiln factory in the third year of Qianlong. The Qianlong kiln "Blue and White Glazed Red Cloud Dragon Pattern Celestial Sphere Bottle" is also a typical early Qianlong model.
