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.

I love the tea pot. I am very into the plight of elephants. Buddha, well, no explanation needed. The intricacy of the design is so well done. When not in use, displayed proudly on my kitchen shelf.

This teapot is a gift for my daughter who saw this in a tea shop many, many years ago and was very excited when she saw this on-line. It was carefully packed and swiftly sent. Very happy!

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.

Oka Mahendra opened a showroom in memory of his mother... She was a woman full of energy and highly self-confident.
