By artist Modu：”One life, one craft.”
I often tell the younger generation: even though the Intertwining Lotus has been around for centuries, every brushstroke carries its own wisdom. The logic behind this pattern is “continuity”—representing life’s unending cycle and boundless vitality. In our culture, the lotus embodies purity, while the twisting vines represent flourishing fortune. Together, they are the pinnacle of classical elegance.
The body of this cup is made from specially prepared antique clay. To recreate the “fleshy,” substantial texture of ancient porcelain, the clay must be aged for a long time before enduring high-temperature firing. Look closely at the cobalt blue—this isn’t a shade a machine can replicate. It’s “written” onto the raw body stroke by stroke. The underglaze technique is the ultimate test of patience; a single tremor of the hand, and the entire piece is ruined.
