Ru kiln
The Ru kiln ( Chinese 窑 窯 / 汝窑 , Pinyin Rǔ yáo , English Ru kiln ) was a famous porcelain or ceramic kiln - a so-called “state kiln” (guanyao) - in the time of the Northern Song Dynasty . It was one of the so-called Five Famous Kilns of the Song Dynasty .
A kiln was located in today's Ruzhou in the Chinese province of Henan . At the beginning of the Yuanyou era of the (Northern) Song dynasty , it was designated as the successor to the Ding kiln in order to burn ceramics for the imperial court, as can be found in the brush notes Laoxue to biji by the famous poet Lu You .
The blank has the gray color of incense stick ash, its glaze color is almost egg green. The burning time was short, but the quality was very fine.
Another type of green porcelain ( qingci ) was also found in the southern and northeastern municipalities of Ruzhou ; its glaze color is relatively strong compared to the Longquan kiln with a little spring onion green in it; the blank (taigu) has a slightly pale gray color. There are two types: decorations with imprints (yinhua) and those with carvings (kehua) ; The motifs are flowers and plants, waves, fish, birds, the glaze color and decorative patterns are somewhat similar to those of the Yaozhou kiln . The kiln was mainly specialized in firing ceramics for civil use, the firing time was long, it was produced in large quantities.
During the Jin ( Jurchen ) invasion , all northern kilns ceased production.
