Floral Yangcai
Colour held inside the carved line.
A calm, gently squared body gives the floral panel an architectural frame. Mineral colour settles into the carved peony without covering the character of the clay, making the pot feel both composed and unmistakably handmade.

A vessel of good wishes
The flower begins with a line.
Yangcai is built through relationship: the carved line creates the boundary, and colour gives the recessed field its quiet pulse. The result is not a printed image, but a surface that changes as the vessel moves through light.
The seed-pod-like lid knob echoes the botanical panel, bringing the decoration back to the hand each time the pot is opened.
Colour carried by clay
A carved flower.
A composed hold.
