Core Craftsmanship: Underglaze Blue and Copper Red
Underglaze blue and copper red is a precious variety in ancient Chinese ceramics, belonging to the high-temperature underglaze color craftsmanship. This product uses high-quality kaolin as the raw material. After blank making, drying and biscuit firing, the outline of the blue and white pattern is first drawn with cobalt-containing pigment, then the copper red pattern is outlined and filled with copper-containing pigment. Finally, transparent glaze is applied and fired in a high-temperature reducing flame at about 1350℃ in one go. This craftsmanship has high requirements for temperature control and pigment proportioning. The underglaze blue is bright and green, and the copper red is mellow and full. The two complement each other, showing exquisite craftsmanship.
Pattern Meaning: Interlocking Lotus
The entire body of the teapot is decorated with interlocking lotus patterns, which take lotus as the main body and are supplemented by winding vines. The vines are endless, and the lotus flowers are in full bloom. Interlocking lotus pattern is one of the traditional Chinese auspicious patterns. “Lian” (lotus) is homophonic with “Lian” (integrity), symbolizing integrity and incorruptibility; the continuous vines imply endless life, blessings and longevity; the overall pattern not only shows the beauty of nature but also embodies the yearning for a better life.
