The stuff is pretty amazing in person. I saw it at the National Museum in Taipei and thought it was the most interesting stuff in the museum, perhaps tied with the huge landscape paintings with small people that I also love. I have some plant pots that were clearly inspired by them (shape, colors, crackling), bought years before I visited Taiwan or had any idea what they were based on.
Yes, hard to describe in words. Must be seen to get it.
Anyway, it’s not like people these days suddenly decided Ru porcelain is worth paying attention to. It has been admired as the finest porcelain ever made in China for many, many centuries.
