Product Overview

Introducing Midnight Iron Lotus Pot – a striking pot that merges traditional craftsmanship with mythic inspiration. Made from high-quality stoneware and finished with a deep iron glaze, this pot exudes strength and serenity in equal measure. Its robust Tiliang shape and rich, metallic sheen evoke the stillness of a moonless night, while its balanced form and earthy weight provide a grounding presence in the hand. With roots in Japanese folklore and refinement in every detail, this piece transcends utility and enters the realm of collectible art.


Artistic Appreciation

Celestial Stone Pot derives its aesthetic from the legendary Iron Lotus – a mythical flower believed to bloom beneath moonlit mountain lakes. The pot’s dark surface, subtly reflective, mirrors the mystique of this fabled blossom. Every curve is deliberate, with a body that feels organic yet refined. The coarse texture of the stoneware contrasts with the shimmering glaze, creating visual depth and a sense of timelessness. This pot is not just for serving tea; it’s a tribute to nature’s unseen beauty and the quiet majesty of folklore.


Craftsmanship Analysis

This pot is formed from dense, high-fired stoneware and finished with a traditional Japanese iron glaze. The glaze is composed of iron-rich compounds that, when fired at intense temperatures, yield a dark, glossy surface with natural variations – each pot emerging with a unique character. The handle, crafted from durable metal and wrapped in natural fiber cord, adds comfort, insulation, and a rustic contrast to the pot’s somber finish. Together, these elements reflect the potter’s deep technical expertise and refined artistic judgment.


Creative Inspiration

The design is rooted in the ancient tale of Sato Yorihito, a craftsman who encountered the Iron Lotus on a midnight trek through the mountains. Enchanted by its elusive glow, he sought to preserve its essence through clay and fire. Thus was born the Celestial Stone Pot – a vessel imbued with the tranquility of moonlit lakes and the spirit of a flower that exists only in silence. This story continues to live through each pot, inviting the drinker to experience tea not just as a beverage, but as a poetic ritual.

Value & Versatility

Whether placed at the center of a modern tea ceremony or displayed as a piece of contemplative décor, the Celestial Stone Pot offers unmatched presence and meaning. Its rich glaze and weighty form make it ideal for meditative tea preparation, while its folklore-inspired design makes it a cherished gift for connoisseurs of both tea and storytelling. More than just a vessel, it is a quiet companion for those who appreciate the balance of functionality, mythology, and enduring craft.
