In 2024, the octogenarian master ingeniously incorporated signature elements from his sculptures into a series of teacups, creating functional yet artistic works that showcase his unparalleled porcelain craftsmanship. Through ingenious shaping and meticulous decorative techniques, these miniature masterpieces encapsulate the essence of traditional Chinese auspicious culture. </p><p class="ql-block"> Among them, the *Endless Good Fortune* teacup draws inspiration from the lotus motifs in Kou’s iconic sculpture *Lotus Vase*. The design features a square cup with smooth, rounded edges, blending the solemn elegance of angular forms with the gentle warmth of curved surfaces. The sturdy square base exudes a dignified charm characteristic of traditional Chinese vessels. The cup’s surface is adorned with masterful carvings: a fully bloomed lotus and a budding flower grace the front, accompanied by a plump seedpod and intricately veined leaves. When held to light, the delicate leaf veins become translucent, evoking the gentle sway of lotus leaves on a breezy pond. The characters for "good fortune" (*hao yun*) are subtly engraved in intaglio, harmonizing with the lifelike lotus motifs to reinforce the theme of prosperity and blessings. The piece retains the jade-like warmth distinctive of *Jianbai* porcelain while exemplifying a perfect fusion of traditional artistry and contemporary aesthetics.</p>
