Treasure Jingdezhen Blue and White Porcelain Master Tea Bowl Contemplating Monk

This tea bowl is the original art work of master Zhouzi, hand crafted from high quality Jingdezhen porcelain with a traditional Yuan Rong shape. Yuan Rong means round and harmony in Chinese. The art work was inspired by a famous poem written by a well-known monk and poet Hui Neng 慧能 of the Tang dynasty, which depicts himself sitting on a Nantai mountain cliff, meditating on Zen philosophy. Master Zhouzi is a high level porcelain painter in Jingdezhen and has been creating original porcelain artwork more than 30 years. 

The poem says, "sitting quietly on the Nantai mountain burning incense, contemplating every day, all worries and anxieties are gone and not a thought in my mind. Not because I want to get rid of delusion, but because there is nothing to think about". - translated by Victoria. 

南台静坐一炉香，终日凝然万虑亡。不是息心除妄想，只缘无事可思量。

Fine porcelain can enhance the flavor of the tea. This tea bowl is a beautiful representation of classic porcelain artwork and serves as an elegant and sturdy vessel for your daily tea sessions. It holds comfortably in the hand. It is a great addition to your tea ware collection.
