Natural age‑related micro‑wear appears on the rim surface, no heavy chips, cracks or major restorations. The entire surface is covered with dense layered ice‑crackle glaze. This Ru‑style ceramic originates from a distinguished early Chinese‑ceramic private collection based in Los Angeles, California. It was collected during the 1960s and has stayed within the same private estate, previously unoffered at public auction.Description：This lobed cup is formed with gently faceted sides, rising from a short raised foot to a wide rounded rim. It is coated all over inside and out with a soft sky‑blue celadon glaze. The glaze develops a dense, intricate network of golden‑toned ice crackles across the entire surface, a signature aesthetic feature of Ru‑type wares. The glaze has a subtle silky matte‑luster texture. The short well‑fashioned foot is fully glazed. Song Ru‑type porcelains are among the most revered Chinese imperial ceramics, celebrated for their restrained sky‑blue tone and elegant crackled glaze effect. This lobed cup displays classic Song‑period aesthetic taste, with harmonious proportions and natural developed crackle throughout the glaze, representing high‑quality Ru‑type ceramic art of the Song era.
