"Hidden Fragrance" Black Engraved Teapot with Gold Accents

671 $1,500.00

This exquisite teapot from artist Ma Yiming highlights the perfect contrast between the dark body and the gold accents around the mouth and lid.

The poem engraved on the teapot is "寻常窗前月,暗香知春来", which translates to

Through the usual window, the moon appears.
A hidden fragrance heralds Spring's advent.

Poetically, the "hidden fragrance" refers to plum blossoms that bloom in winter and indicate Spring is coming. The fragrance is hidden so you must be mindful of the present in order to appreciate it and find your own Spring.
