The origin of the azure Ru kiln

The ancients could not change the humidity, so it had to be a misty and rainy day when the celadon was released, so that the glaze color would gradually turn into a dreamy azure color. It was created and fired in the late Northern Song Dynasty and was used as royal porcelain for the palace.

Ru kiln is one of the five famous kilns. Its shape is simple and elegant, with precious agate as glaze and unique color. As the light changes, looking at the glaze color, it is as beautiful as "after the rain, the sky is clear and the clouds are broken, and the green waves of the thousands of peaks come out". The basic color of Ru kiln porcelain glaze is a light azure color, commonly known as "duck egg shell cyan". The glaze layer is not Thick, with the turning of the shape, showing changes in shades and depths.

The cracked flakes on the glaze surface are mostly scattered and extremely fine flakes, commonly known as cicada wing pattern. The ancients had a famous poem after the rain, one of which reads: After the rain, the sky is blue and the clouds are broken, and this color is the future. The "sky blue" in the sentence refers to the sky blue color of Ru kiln.

Not all craftsmen can make azure, and there are certain requirements for material selection and workmanship.
