Ru kiln is located in Qingliangsi, Baofeng county, Henan province. The plate is praised for its mellow glaze color and lustrous surface. It was probably used to hold a tripod zun container as a set. Five tiny spur marks are left at the exterior bottom, a characteristic exclusive to Ru wares. Some 700 years after the plate was made, a jade craftsman engraved on the exterior bottom with a seven-character poem composed by the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1736-1795) out of his admiration for this piece of artworks.
