Blue Ground Ice Plum Fairness Pitcher

By artist Modu：This ice plum fairness pitcher carries the quiet resilience of the plum blossom and the precision of gongfu tea ritual.This is a classic fairness pitcher (gongdao bei), designed to pour tea evenly into all tasting cups, ensuring every guest enjoys the same strength of tea. I shape every piece by hand, refining the curve of the body, the angle of the spout, and the stability of the base until it pours smoothly without dripping, a critical detail for the harmony of the tea ceremony. The clay is premium antique formula kaolin, fired at over 1300℃ to create a warm, muted luster that echoes the charm of ancient porcelain.The pitcher uses the blue ground ice plum technique, a beloved Qing Dynasty design. The deep cobalt blue background mimics the cracked texture of ice, while delicate white plum blossoms bloom across the surface—symbolizing resilience and hope, as the plum tree blooms bravely in the cold of winter.
