Hand-Painted Persimmon Ceramic Vase

By artist Taomei:life is sweet, and that good luck is always in bloom.The shape is curvy and soft, with a narrow neck that keeps branches upright, and a wide belly that feels cozy in your hands. I wanted it to feel like a little treasure, something that holds not just flowers, but hope—like the way a persimmon holds the warmth of the sun. I wanted them to look plump and juicy, with little seeds peeking through, like they’re just picked from a tree in autumn. In the stories I grew up with, persimmons are a symbol of good things in succession—their round shape and sweet taste stand for abundance, happiness, and blessings that keep coming.
