Eternal Bloom Teapot 「竹外一枝紫砂壶」

This teapot is a refined piece of Yixing purple clay art, inspired by Chinese poet Su Shi's (Song Dynasty) profound reflection in his poem "Resonance with Qin Taixu's Plum Blossoms [和秦太虚梅花]." This teapot’s inscription resonates with Su Shi's deep appreciation for the ephemeral beauty of plum blossoms, which subtly mirrors his own emotional journey of solitude and resilience. The bamboo motif carved onto the teapot emphasizes a serene yet resolute spirit, embodying the quiet grace of nature that Su Shi cherished. This teapot is perfect for those who find beauty in life's fleeting moments, offering a poetic experience with every brew.

「此款紫砂壶是一件精致的宜兴陶艺品，其灵感来自苏轼在《和秦太虚梅花》诗中的深邃感怀。壶上的题诗：“竹外一枝斜更好”，诗人并没有雕镂其幽艳丰姿之形，而侧重勾画梅花斜倚修竹的幽独闲雅之神。这正暗合诗人自己的落寞情怀。所以他才分外欣赏那枝“无意苦争春”的竹外孤梅。这一句诗是苏轼的得意之笔，评论家们也赞赏备至。壶身雕刻的图案，与诗境相合，寄慨遥深。」
