The genesis of the carved porcelain vessel draws from the lotus blossoms flourishing in Cliff Lee's Koi Pond. From the delicate emergence of spring's early leaves to the full-bodied beauty of summer's blooms, and finally, the formation of pods in autumn from the remnants of fallen flowers, each stage is captured in this piece. Enhanced by a pale green high-fired Celadon glaze, renowned for its glossy translucency and pooling effects, it accentuates the intricate carving with perfection.
