Auspicious Hu Lu Teapot

A Vessel of Quiet Blessings

In Chinese culture, the gourd is more than a plant. Pronounced “Hu Lu”, it echoes the words “福禄”—fortune and prosperity. For centuries, it has appeared in traditional patterns as a symbol of happiness, abundance, and auspicious living.

This teapot carries that meaning not as decoration, but as form.

Shaped entirely as a gourd, it turns symbolism into something you can hold, pour from, and share—bringing gentle blessings into everyday tea moments. A handful of happiness. To hold this teapot is to hold the ancient wish for 'Fu Lu'—fortune and abundance—translated into a warm, tactile reality.
