The Abundance Pond Cup

Fish & Lotus Porcelain · Jingdezhen

For tea, coffee, or whatever fills your cup.

Fish weave between lotus leaves and curling water plants, appearing and disappearing through layers of deep ink and warm amber. The word for fish, yú (鱼), echoes yú (余) — “abundance,” “something left over,” or “more than enough” — and has carried wishes for prosperity for centuries.

Look closely and no two sections of the cup feel quite the same. It is a piece designed to be turned slowly in the hand.

Let it flow. Let it grow. Let there be enough.
