88th Known Surviving Piece of Ru Ceramic is The 'Rarest' Royal Porcelain Bowl and At Least 900 Years Old!

Good to know that this rare bowl which was previously thought to have originated in Korea, has been successfully identified by international expert, Regina Krahl😅

The bowl, 13 centimetres in diameter, was probably made for washing brushes. It was originally part of the collection of a German doctor who visited China from 1913 to 1914, and was purchased in 1927 by the director of the Dresden Porcelain Collection.

Ancient Ceramics Unravels Chinese Civilization from the 3rd to 9th century (History)

 

Beijing recently attempted to unravel the mystery and history of ceramics manufacturing by having an exhibition featuring ceramic development between the 3rd and 9th century. This exhibition runs through January 3 in 2021 at the M WOODS Art Museum.

Rather than curated by chronology or geography, the 200 or so ceramic objects are arranged into 4 subjects: Anchoret, Sutra, Alchemy and Lions. Each concept represents a significant cultural, social or historical aspect of the period. Enjoy!
