Blue and White Porcelain Host's Teacup with Lotus Pond and Egret Design

The phrase "Blue and White Porcelain Host's Teacup with Lotus Pond and Egret Design" refers to a teacup that utilizes the decorative technique of blue and white porcelain, featuring a design of a lotus pond with egrets. Blue and white porcelain is a traditional Chinese ceramic decoration method, where cobalt-blue pigments are used to paint patterns on the porcelain, which is then covered with a clear glaze and fired at high temperatures to produce blue floral designs. "Negative Space Technique." (leaving white space) refers to the intentional blank areas in the design, which contrast with the patterns to enhance artistic effect. The “lotus pond with egrets” depicts a lotus pond and egrets resting in it, a common theme in traditional Chinese art that symbolizes elegance and tranquility. The term “host's teacup” indicates that this teacup is specifically designed for use by the host in a tea room or by the owner, possibly carrying special meaning or status.
