Ru ware is one of the five famous porcelain types from the Song Dynasty, produced in Ruzhou, Henan. The lotus petal cup is a classic form of Ru ware, with a wide rim resembling a lotus leaf. The cup holds high artistic and collectible value.
Ru ware was the favorite of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty and represents the pinnacle of ancient Chinese aesthetics, continuing to be admired to this day. Interestingly, the unique sky-blue color of Ru ware is said to have originated from a dream of Emperor Huizong. Upon waking, he composed the verse: "The sky clears after the rain, clouds break, revealing this color for the future." In an effort to recreate the color from the emperor's dream, officials across the country embarked on a quest to produce this "sky-blue" glaze. Eventually, the porcelain produced by the official kiln in Ruzhou, Henan Province, was found to be the closest match, giving rise to what is known as "Ru ware." However, due to the political instability at the time, the production of Ru ware lasted only 20 years. Today, only 65 pieces of Ru ware from the Song Dynasty are known to exist.
