Lotus Bud Teapot – Yixing Green Clay Full Lotus Sculpture
Every element of this Yixing green clay teapot is the lotus — the body shaped as a lotus bud on the verge of blooming, the spout curled like a gently unfurling lotus leaf, the handle formed from a curved lotus branch, and the lid sculpted as a lotus seedpod with a small frog crouching playfully on top, as if ready to leap into the pond at any moment. It is not simply a teapot decorated with lotus motifs — it is the lotus, rendered entirely in Yixing green clay.
In Chinese culture, the lotus symbolizes purity, grace, and spiritual clarity — rising from the mud yet remaining unstained. The frog adds a touch of vitality and whimsy, making this piece as joyful to look at as it is to brew with.
