I began my collection in the 1970s, and in the 1990s, I focused on acquiring an exceptional array of artworks from private Chinese sources. These sources faced severe persecution for possessing collections that were ancestral heirlooms, predating the Communist era. Among my holdings is the Official Commissioned Imperial Royal Ru Kiln Collection, originating from the collection of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty.

This collection features unique pieces that stand unparalleled in significance, as many of these forms have been previously unseen. The condition of these works is pristine; they are certified 100% authentic, with verifiable characteristics including cuprite and malachite corrosion on the fire-gilded copper bands, which took approximately 900 years to develop. This corrosion is readily observable with the naked eye, as is the crushed agate within the glaze, which can be examined with a 20x loupe. Despite the proliferation of Ru ware across the internet, numerous auction houses continue to erroneously classify these original pieces as fakes, perpetuating misinformation. It is essential to note that only Commissioned Official Royal Imperial Ru wares are genuinely rare. These pieces are not widely available online, and no Royal Imperial Ru wares have ever been offered at auctions. Any skepticism about the authenticity of these wares can be dispelled by recognizing that it would be impossible for any contemporary kiln in China to replicate such masterpieces. Throughout history, the only kiln capable of producing works of this caliber was the Royal Ru Kiln during the Northern Song Dynasty under Emperor Huizong. The second commissioned wares, characterized by unglazed foot rings that were fired flat in the kiln, include the featured Cong vase, which showcases fire-gilded copper bands exhibiting the aforementioned corrosion. The authenticity of these pieces is evident in their cuprite and malachite corrosion, which is readily visible, as well as the crushed agate in the glaze, identifiable with a 20x loupe. Expertise is not a prerequisite for recognizing these facts. It is important to highlight that all second commissioned wares lack markings and possess an off-white biscuit that turns brownish upon firing. These wares are distinguished by their luxurious, smooth glaze, free from crackle, and display unique features such as fire-gilded copper bands. In my estimation, these second commissioned wares represent the finest celadon wares, and the most significant wares in China’s historical legacy. Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty reigned from 1082 to 1135.

The following series of close-up photographs presents the Cuprite and Malachite corrosion observed on the RU WARE copper fire-gilded bands. It is important to note that fire gilding, a process involving the application of gold and mercury, has not been employed since the mid-19th century due to its associated health risks. The characteristic patina visible on these bands has developed over approximately 900 years, rendering it virtually impossible to replicate artificially (referenced from David Scott's "Copper and Bronze in Art," Chapter 3, page 106). The natural progression from metal to cuprite and subsequently to malachite is complex and challenging to reproduce in a laboratory setting. Indeed, most methodologies for generating artificial green patinas on copper alloys, such as those catalogued by Hughes and Rowe (1982), do not yield malachite formation over a cuprite substrate. As such, the identification of this specific type of corrosion, corroborated by analytical and metallographic investigations, serves as a strong indicator of an artifact's authenticity. Additionally, microscopic images reveal the presence of minute reflective particles of crushed agate incorporated into the RU WARE glaze. Such reflections can also be discerned with a 20x loupe, with further evidence available in the microscopic photographs adjacent to each artifact image. Notably, only the Imperial Ru Wares that were officially commissioned feature crushed agate in their glaze. Pieces sold by auction houses typically do not exhibit this characteristic, as agate was not utilized in merchant wares. The finest merchant wares, equipped with fire-gilded copper bands, were presented as tributes to the Emperor. Meanwhile, flawed merchant wares were sold at reduced prices to the general populace, and those with severe defects were often destroyed. During the reign of Emperor Huizong, significant efforts were made to establish the Ru Kiln as a premier production facility for his personal commissions and those of his court, effectively designating it as the Official Royal Kiln. He specifically mandated the inclusion of rare blue agate in the glazes of all commissioned wares. These official pieces are generally larger and exhibit distinctive styles, forms, and glazes, many of which remain unparalleled in contemporary collections. Archaeological findings have confirmed the location of the Ru Kiln associated with merchant wares predating Emperor Huizong's commissions; however, the site of the Official Royal Ru Kiln has yet to be located.

Following the incursion of the Jin Army into the Northern Song Dynasty, it is believed that many Imperial Royal Kiln artisans migrated southward, with approximately half joining the Imperial Guan Kilns and the other half working at the Longquan Kiln. This migration contributes to the stylistic similarities observed between the renowned second commissioned Royal Ru Kiln wares and those produced at Longquan. Notably, however, Longquan wares lack the crushed agate incorporation that characterizes the official Ru Wares. ppjrs
