The lotus is a symbol of sacred beauty, purity and perfection.
This teapot's handle represents the stem of the lotus flower, and a curled
lotus leaf forms the spout. The three feet of the teapot are molded as
water chestnuts and lotus root. Perched on the lid of this teapot is an
intricately detailed frog, regarded as most auspicious and conductive to
good fortune. The pot is composed of double-layered clay (both blue and
Tan ni white clay) in front with loose seeds in a twice-fired
process. It represents a lotus pod with 18 exposed and articulated seeds.
In Asian folklore lotus pods are fertility symbols, and "many seeds" implies
"many sons." (Price includes free shipping and handling
within the continental United States.) Y-82 Lotus Seeds and Frog Teapot
