"Pure Elegance: A Special Exhibition of Ru Ware in The Palace Museum"
Location: Yanxi Gong (Palace of Prolonging Happiness)
Through Aug 30, 2016
The Ru kilns were ranked first among the five great kilns, in large part, because the light sky-blue glaze applied to elegant Ru porcelains appealed to the aesthetic tastes of ancient literati and scholar-officials. Due to the short period of production and great difficulty in firing, only a small number of Ru porcelains have been preserved today. Available statistics reveal that intact Ru ware in private/public collections around the world total less than 100 pieces.
