They are also associated with rebirth, reflecting the cyclical nature of life, and signify happiness and joy, encapsulating moments of bliss that many seek in their daily lives. The incorporation of colorful butterfly patterns on Duan clay teapots embeds layers of significance within the objects. This artistic process requires a blend of skill and an intimate understanding of the cultural context behind each design. The aesthetic elements of these teapots are further refined through the use of contrasting colors that represent nature’s vibrancy.
