Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty’s famous line “After the rain, the sky clears and the clouds break, this color shall be created for future generations” is one of the most beautiful poetic descriptions of ceramic glaze throughout history. This bell-shaped cup is glazed with the sky-blue glaze beloved by Emperor Huizong, complemented by the white stacking technique used in the Ming and Qing imperial courts, bringing the design to life in vivid relief.
