【Prosperity and Good Fortune】 Blue and White Medium Bowl / Noodle Bowl / For Serving Rice and Dishes in a Generous Bowl

The countryside of Yilan is reminiscent of the "Peach Blossom Spring," described as having fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees, and bamboo, with well-maintained paths and the sounds of chickens and dogs. Various dogs are often seen guarding homes in rural villages, symbolizing safety and protection, carrying auspicious meanings of good fortune. The "woof woof" sound of dogs is often heard in the countryside, and "wāng wāng" sounds phonetically similar to "wàng" (prosperous). Thus, dogs represent prosperity in wealth and descendants, symbolizing thriving good fortune. During traditional Lunar New Year celebrations, every household hangs red lanterns to create an atmosphere of joy and reunion. Spring Festival lanterns carry the auspicious meaning of "hóng yùn dāng tóu" (good luck is coming your way). Blooming before all other flowers, the plum blossom heralds spring and is revered as an auspicious symbol of good tidings. A common saying goes, "A branch of plum blossom signifies the New Year." Each plum blossom that unfurls adds to the festive spirit of the approaching Spring Festival. The five petals of the plum blossom also symbolize the "Five Blessings": longevity, wealth, health, virtue, and a good end. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 【Craftsmanship】 Sanshing Four Seasons Blue and White is 100% "handmade," allowing every subtle touch and movement to leave its mark during the shaping process. This ensures that each vessel is unique, unlike the uniform appearance of industrially produced ceramics, as it constantly evolves through every stage. From taking the clay, to throwing on the wheel, to trimming the base, to carefully removing the semi-finished piece with fingers and placing it on a wooden rack to air dry, to refining the shape, bisque firing, glazing, and finally applying the blue and white design before the final firing—each step leaves its trace, ultimately imbuing every vessel with a distinct character, warming from your hands to your heart. Hand-glazed. Blue and White Stamping ★ This piece is handmade, embracing a freehand feel and natural variations. Due to high-temperature firing, the final shape may not be a perfect circle, and each piece will have slight differences in size and form. The white glaze on the works is hand-dipped, resulting in natural flow patterns and marks. The hand-stamped blue and white design will exhibit varying shades of color after firing. Occasionally, natural brown iron spots or bluish-white glaze spots may appear after firing. If you have extremely high expectations for color consistency, please refrain from ordering. 【Dimensions】 Diameter 15cm, Height 5.5cm, Base 7cm (+-0.5cm) 【Material】 Ceramic clay.
