In Southeast Asia it is said that when Buddha's mother was about to give birth, she dreamt a white elephant came to her offering a lotus, symbol of purity and knowledge. When Buddha is depicted riding an elephant, it is believed it will bring good luck and health. Putu Oka Mahendra transforms legend into a mesmerizing ceramic teapot featuring a rattan handle.

"Beautiful finish and design"
We really enjoy this beautiful teapot. The glazing and detail is unique and well-designed. We leave it sitting out as it is such a beautiful art object in itself.

"Finding new uses"
Each plate is a little different, and the ensemble effect is very satisfying. I keep finding new uses, such as serving trays, bowl holders, condiment trays, and more.

"Beautiful bathroom set in green ceramic"
I love this beautiful bathroom set in green ceramic with that yellow flower. I have other green ceramic pieces from Novica too. I love their sage green color and the nature designs. They make me feel the tranquility and beauty of nature in my home.
