Owner’s Comment
This design depicts plum blossoms together with branches stretching upward like spears, combining charm with a quiet sense of elegance.
The warm texture unique to pottery is complemented by gentle and delicate brushwork.
The slightly cylindrical shape makes it well suited for winter tea, adding a soft and calm expression to peaceful moments of tea.
