Da Hong Pao Leisurely Teapot

The teapot body is both straight and curved, and the curved spout is simple yet powerful. The lid sits flat on the teapot, and the knob resembles a bridge, giving a clean and neat appearance with pleasing proportions. The key point of this artwork lies in its sense of strength. The overall design exudes an outward-expanding force, while maintaining a balanced and harmonious tension, creating a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere.

The teapot body is meticulously hand-painted, with delicate details and lifelike imagery. The plum blossoms, with their five petals, symbolize the Five Blessings. Plum blossoms are associated with the "Four Virtues": the beginning and origin represented by the bud ("yuan"), smooth progress and prosperity represented by blooming ("heng"), successful outcomes and benefits represented by fruiting ("li"), and steadfastness and purity represented by maturity ("zhen").
