Daying, China
Ru ware
Ru ware, Ju ware, or "Ru official ware" is a famous and extremely rare type of Chinese pottery from the Song dynasty, produced for the imperial court for a brief period around 1100. Fewer than 100 complete pieces survive, though there are later imitations which do not entirely match the originals. Most have a distinctive pale "duck-egg" blue glaze, "the colour of the sky after rain, glimpsed through a parting in the clouds" according to a medieval connoisseur, and are otherwise undecorated, though their colours vary and reach into a celadon green.
