This is a new 200 ml teapot than the larger classic Shui Ping pot we were featuring before. It still comes from the same workshop of renowned Taiwanese artist Bai Zong-Ping. What makes it even more precious is its unique hand-painted scene featuring a luóhàn 羅漢 or lohan – which is how buddhist arhats are referred to here. These depictions play on the imperfections of their attainments on the path of enlightenment where lowly desires like good food and drink have not been fully eliminated and relapse into the pleasures of life remain possible. This particular scene features a seated Luohan turning his back to a playful monkey. Not only is Bai Zong-Ping a master potter in his own right, he is also an exceptionally gifted painter and sculptor with a lively and colourful palette. His canvases remain ceramic objects he crafts in the pure tradition of instilling beauty to useful objects. There is also a whimsical side to the artist which is highlighted in the little details he puts in the decoration of his pots. This is exemplified by the unique braided cord that he attaches to the lid of each pot he makes in this series. We’ve seen many in his studio and can attest that each one is different. Of course, we chose the prettiest one! You may complete your set with hand-painted cups and pitchers featuring the same characters. Please note that glaze crazing inside and out is intentional and will render a nicely veined appearance with time. Needless to say, this item is unique, signed by the artist, and proudly handcrafted in Taiwan.
