"Even with boundless wealth,
nothing rivals a single shard of Ru porcelain."

Ru Kiln stands at the pinnacle of the Five Great Kilns of the Song Dynasty — Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, and Ding.
In the annals of Chinese ceramic history, it has long been revered as “The First Among Kilns.”

The glaze of Ru ware is uniquely soft and smooth, described as “fat-saturated like mutton fat jade.”
To the touch, it is like stroking silk — silky, supple, and rich — with a distinctive texture known as the “buttery sheen.”
It is said: “Resembling jade, not jade, but surpassing jade.”

✨ The Four Hallmarks of Ru Kiln:

• Mottled Sky Reflections Beneath the Glaze
  (玛瑙入釉) – Subtle speckles shimmering like stars in the mist

• Jade-like Softness and Glow
  (莹润肥厚) – A luminous glaze, thick yet tender

• More Than Jade
  (似玉、非玉、而胜玉) – An essence that captures the spirit of jade and transcends it

• Buttery, Silken Texture
  (酥油莹润) – A surface that feels rich, warm, and almost alive
