Hand-Painted Intertwining Lotus Tea Pitcher

By artist Modu：In all my years by the kiln, the Intertwining Lotus remains my favorite. Why? Because its “endless” nature is the ultimate test of an artisan’s focus. If your mind wanders while painting the raw body, the rhythm of the vine breaks. It is not merely painting flowers; it is a practice of the spirit.

This pitcher is crafted from Fine High-Temperature Porcelain. Many don’t realize that this material is incredibly temperamental; a deviation of just a few degrees in the kiln can dull the white or muddy the blue. By using the underglaze technique, we “seal” the artwork beneath the glaze. Once fired, the pattern becomes part of the porcelain’s very “bone,” smooth to the touch and guaranteed never to fade over centuries. That is the essence of true legacy.

This Justice Cup embodies our understanding of “balance.” As the tea swirls within, the flavors equalize so that every guest enjoys the same brew—this is the “Justice.” The lotus vines wind around and around, much like how we hope life unfolds: steady, harmonious, and filled with a continuous flow of good fortune.
