I don’t see a second or third layer of meaning in this. Which is not a bad thing. Just an observation.
The poem is literally and figuratively about fine China, but tells an everyday story in an interesting way.
I’ not sure about the “baptised” bit, as it seems to be just lazily following on from a bath of hot water and is not connected otherwise with the rest of the poem. But otherwise enjoyable.
