Owner’s Comment
This design depicts a sparrow resting on a bare branch covered with snow, offering a charming scene with a sense of rustic warmth.
The warm, earthy texture of the pottery is complemented by brushwork that is both delicate and gently expressive.
The slightly cylindrical shape makes it well suited for winter tea gatherings, allowing you to enjoy calm and unhurried moments of tea.
