tea cup Longquan Celadon - Lotus

The intoxicating aroma of tea will take you far beyond the horizons and the experience will fascinate you completely. Let's go to a faraway land where this fragile beauty has its origin and, above all, its unsurpassed originality. Here we will learn that this ritual of preparing and drinking tea has its own rules that will give your moment of relaxation an unforgettable experience.

The city of Longquan in China's coastal Zhejian province is famous for its Seladong pottery and the traditional firing technology that gives it its distinctive green glaze. A glaze composed of purple-gold clay and a mixture of burnt feldspar, limestone, quartz and vegetable ash. It is prepared according to recipes that have often been handed down in families for many generations. The glaze is applied to the fired stoneware vessel, which is then fired again in a repeated cycle. It is a minimum of six stages of heating and cooling, where the exact temperature matters - high or insufficient temperature will completely spoil the final effect. Experienced Seladon artists carefully check each stage with a thermometer and by observing the colour of the flame, which reaches temperatures of up to around 1310º C. The final product can come in one of two styles: the "older brother" seladon has a crackled finish, while the "younger brother" has a dense, lavender-grey and green hue. With a basic jade green colour, the seladon fired by Longquan's family-run businesses is prized as master-quality art that can also serve as a home jewel. Longquan Celadon is a proud symbol of the cultural heritage of the artisans, their city and the Chinese nation.

On a teacup Lotus a lotus flower is depicted. The Chinese consider this flower a symbol of purity. It grows out of the muddy waters and emerges to the surface, where it blooms to incredible beauty. The lotus is one of the oldest plants on the planet, with fossil evidence showing that it survived the Ice Age. It is also a symbol of the open heart, as during the day the petals open to soak up the sun and reveal their bright yellow heart in the centre of the flower.
