What to Look For

Check the listing’s measurements carefully, as “vase” can describe anything from a small ornamental piece to a substantial display item. Ask for clear photographs of the rim, foot, interior and glaze under natural light. Look for chips, hairline cracks, glaze pooling, firing marks, scratches and signs of restoration; these can be difficult to judge in low-resolution images. Confirm whether the lid, handles or other fittings are original and included. Descriptions such as “Ru kiln” or “Ruware” may refer to a style rather than a documented antique, so request details of any marks, labels or provenance without assuming they prove age. Check the seller’s return terms and obtain a firm UK delivery quote.

Buying Tips

When comparing Chinese Ru kiln vases, check whether a listing describes an antique, a reproduction or simply an antique-style piece. Compare dimensions, glaze colour, decoration and included lids or fittings rather than price alone. Study photographs for chips, hairline cracks, firing flaws, repairs and uneven glaze, and ask for images of the base, marks and interior if they are not shown. Confirm the seller’s condition report, packing arrangements, delivery costs and return terms before buying.
