After the Northern Song Dynasty, Ding wares were famous for its off-white glazes and exquisite engravings, etchings, and imprinted patterns on porcelain.
The Ru kilns produced porcelain for the court for only a short thirty some years; the rest of the time was devoted to porcelain ware for average citizen use.
Porcelains made by the Ru kilns for the imperial court known today are few and rare piece of treasure (less than 100 specimens in existence today). Due to its rarity, imperial Ru wares were sometimes hailed during the Ming and Qing Dynasties as the best of the Song kilns.
Though the colors of glaze were different, they all contained the common element of green or blue-green, and its beauty was heightened by the use of different colored bodies.
