Zhang Hao's Works-Douqing Lotus Petal Cup

H：49mm  Caliber:81mm  Capacity:90ml

This is a tea cup with a body made of Longquan celadon and applied with a warm and gentle pea - green glaze. The glaze color is even and clear, like rippling lake water, exuding an elegant and translucent texture. The entire body of the cup is carved with traditional lotus petal patterns. The layers of spreading lotus petals have smooth and soft lines, not only replicating the dignity and charm of classical utensils but also subtly corresponding to the implication of purity and nobility symbolized by the "lotus". The shape of the ware is full and round, providing a comfortable grip. The lustrous sheen of the glaze surface and the three - dimensional texture of the lotus petals complement each other interestingly. It is a natural integration of the technological characteristics of Longquan celadon, which is "as green as jade and as bright as a mirror", and the cultural image of "lofty lotus charm". Besides being practical, it also has the quiet and elegant temperament of Chinese aesthetics.
