The Design
About Lotus Munus Vasorum Mensae
Lotus est copia vasorum mensae e porcellana confectorum, ex pateris loti fornacis Changsha inspirata. Figura loti traditionalis in formas geometricas simplices abstrahitur atque in patinis diversae altitudinis et magnitudinis adhibetur. Cum patinae secundum magnitudinem in acervum compositae sunt, figura loti apparet, ita ut copia haec, dum reponitur, res ornamentalis fiat. Partes separari et rursus componi possunt ad cibum ministrandum prout necesse est. Figurae rerum faustarum ex dynastia Tang variis occasionibus aptantur. Porcellana colore viridi celadonio vitrificatur et manu formatur.
