Northern Song Ru kiln celadon lotus style warm bowl

The lotus shaped warm bowl from the Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty was used to produce porcelain. The original vessel should be paired with a holding pot and was commonly used for warming wine during the late Tang and Song dynasties. Currently housed in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Ru kiln was once used in the palace, but due to the method of covering and firing, the mouth had defects. Therefore, there was a move to "order Ruzhou to burn celadon in the palace". The selection of Ru kiln and the use of fully glazed support should be one of the reasons.
