22 Dec Why Water Lilies Are Common on Handmade Porcelain Ceramics
Flowers are more than beautiful creatures in pots and waters. They represent different meanings and are used as instruments to convey emotions to others. Like the famous red rose, a water lily also comes with significant symbols in Ancient Egypt, Asian countries, and Mexico. That is why people place water lily bowls and other handmade porcelain ceramics in their homes.
Here’s everything you need to know about water lilies’ symbolism and why they are commonly printed on ceramics.
Language of the Flower
Water lilies grow on ponds. Greek and Italian nymphs inhabit the rivers and woods. With that, people of the old ages associate these two creatures. For the reasons previously mentioned, water lilies have become a representation of chastity, purity, and innocence.
Moreover, lilies are associated with the Greek goddess of love and marriage, Hera. That is why the flower also became a symbol of motherhood and rebirth.
Lilies and Colours
Lilies typically have five colours: white, yellow, pink, orange, and red. Each of these colours has its respective symbols, specifically:
- White: purity and virtue
- Yellow: happiness and cheer
- Pink: femininity and admiration
- Orange: confidence and honour
- Red: commitment and devotion
Lilies in Homes
Many people want lilies in their homes and surroundings because they can transform a plain space into a paradise filled with fragrance. While some opt to plant lilies in their gardens, water lily bowls, and ponds, others want to see the lily’s beauty in the form of paintings, ceramics, and teapot decorations since it adds more vibrance to their homes. It can also make bowls and vases more elegant and presentable.
People copy the shape and colour of a lily for their decorative home accessories interiors. This way, they can have something that shows their personalities without the actual lilies around.
Water Lilies and Feng Shui
Water lilies also bear a great significance in feng shui. According to its laws, it can turn bad luck into good luck and signifies enlightenment and pure energy.
Feng shui experts highly recommend water lilies for home decorations, especially in the living room. This type of decoration can bring out tranquillity from within, which also makes them a suitable decoration for meditation rooms.
Water Lilies: Its Cultural Significance and Representation
As we’ve mentioned beforehand, people in Ancient Egypt, Asia, and Mexico associated water lilies with significant meanings.
Ancient Egypt
The pillars and altars of Egyptian temples feature the blue water lily or the blue lotus because Egyptian mythology deems lilies as a representation of the sun and a symbol of rebirth. Aside from that, Ancient Egypt also has the lily as a symbol of their nation’s peace and unity.
Asia
Water lilies usually grow in areas with temperate and tropical climates. That is why you can see them in Southeast Asia’s bodies of water. In fact, it is almost in every waterbody in Bangladesh that they even regarded it as their national flower.
Mexico
Long ago, the Mayans deemed water lilies sacred flowers, unlike today when they are now considered ornamental plants. Regardless, the Nymphaea water lilies in Mexico are a symbol of many things—purity, fertility, celebration, hope, and peace.
