[Prosperous Wealth and Good Fortune] Medium Bowl

The Yilan countryside is much like the legendary Utopia, with its fertile fields, beautiful ponds, and groves of bamboo, where paths crisscross and the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard. Dogs of all appearances often appear in front of rural homes to keep watch. The dog is a symbol of safety and protection, bearing the meaning of auspicious blessing. In the countryside, one often hears the barking of dogs; the sound of 'wang-wang' is a homophone for 'wang' (prosperous), signifying wealth and a thriving household. During the traditional Lunar New Year, every household hangs bright red lanterns to create a festive atmosphere of reunion, as these lanterns represent the auspicious meaning of 'red' luck and prosperity. Blooming before all other flowers and signaling the arrival of spring, the plum blossom is an auspicious symbol of joy. As the saying goes, 'With a branch of plum blossoms, the New Year has arrived.' The blooming plum blossoms add to the festive spirit of the upcoming New Year. The five petals of the plum blossom also symbolize the 'Five Blessings': longevity, wealth, health and peace, virtue, and a peaceful end. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [Production] Sanshing Four Seasons Blue and White pieces are 100% handcrafted. Each subtle movement and touch leaves a trace during the forming process, ensuring that the vessels are not identical like industrial ceramics, but rather evolve through every stage. From gathering clay, throwing the pot on the wheel, and trimming the base, to removing the semi-finished piece by hand onto a wooden rack to air-dry, through trimming, bisque firing, glazing, and applying the blue and white patterns—every step leaves a mark. Ultimately, each vessel brews a uniqueness that warms your heart from the warmth of your hands. Hand-applied glaze. Blue and white transfer printing. ★ This work is handcrafted, pursuing a relaxed feel and natural variations. Due to high-temperature firing, the final shape may not be perfectly round, and there may be slight differences in size and shape for each piece. The white glaze is applied by hand-dipping, which creates natural flowing patterns and drip marks. The hand-stamped blue and white patterns will have varying shades after firing. Natural brown iron spots or blue glaze spots may occur after firing. If you have strict requirements for color consistency, please refrain from ordering. [Dimensions] Diameter 15cm, Height 5.5cm, Base 7cm (+-0.5cm) [Material] Ceramic clay. Original clay fired at 1230 degrees. ★ Please note! The blue and white patterns on the vessel are created using natural transfer printing, not printing or glaze decals; therefore, they will exhibit natural, irregular edges and textures.
