Description
The Song Ru Kiln Shuangpu Ear Zun is a masterpiece of porcelain from the Song Dynasty Ru Kiln, known for its elegant shape, advanced glaze color, and typical Song Dynasty porcelain decoration style. Ru Kiln is one of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, famous for its production of celadon, and this double layered ear shaped porcelain is a typical representative of Ru Kiln porcelain. Zun is a large container used in ancient times to hold alcohol or other liquids. The design of the Song Ruyao Double Paved Ear Zun reflects the perfect combination of functionality and aesthetics of the objects in the Song Dynasty. Its shape is usually pursed, with a slender neck, a full abdomen, and a gradually converging bottom. There are symmetrical ears on both sides, which are usually in the shape of auspicious clouds, adding decoration to the entire piece and making it easy to transport. The glaze color of Ru kiln is most famous for its sky blue color, which stands out among celadon ceramics because its glaze contains a certain proportion of iron. After high-temperature firing, it presents a unique blue gray color in the reducing atmosphere. The glaze of the Song Ruyao Shuangpu Ear Zun is as smooth as jade, warm and delicate, giving people a peaceful and far-reaching enjoyment of beauty. The Song Ruyao Shuangpu Ear Zun may also be no exception. Its decorative techniques focus on the combination of glaze color and substrate, as well as the grasp of the shape and lines of the vessel, making it appear elegant and not lacking in grandeur overall. The production time of Ru kiln is relatively short, and the surviving Ru kiln porcelain is extremely rare, so each Ru kiln porcelain is an extremely precious art piece.
