Traditional Eastern craftsmanship always hides many details worth noting. Recently, Shanghai Tang collaborated with the famous home brand Mooyee to launch a limited edition “One Bottle” series that plays with Chinese traditional cultural elements.
A series of ceramic home products, all designed by Mr. Li Zhoujing, the founder of Mooyee and a renowned designer. He integrates traditional Eastern aesthetics into modern design, creating unique and stylish designs. Inspired by the joy of “Royal Garden” appreciation, the series includes three different products with different structures and forms: “A Bottle of Tea,” “A Bottle of Fragrance,” and “A Bottle of Scenery.” Combining the Eastern cultural practices of traditional tea, fragrance appreciation, and flower viewing, blending the depth of Eastern Zen with the essence of Western practicality, these products embody both beauty and functionality.
一瓶茶 – 品茶
Interpreting “tilt” and “stop,” in design, a tea bottle simplifies traditional Chinese tea utensils, combining tea strainer, teapot, and teacup into “one bottle.”
一瓶香 – 聞香
The container design and unique incense insertion method are derived from the straight down curve, in line with the brand’s environmental concept. While purifying the space with incense, it also cleanses the body and mind of the person smelling the fragrance. The wooden bottle cap (left) is fixed with a metal clip inside, allowing the incense stick to be inserted upside down in the bottle, causing the ash to settle at the bottom of the bottle, leaving only a light wisp of smoke rising.
一瓶景 – 賞花
Breaking away from the traditional vase shape, this vase features a wide and narrow opening on the top and bottom, with a double-sided hollow interior design that divides the vase into two sides. With a cross-shaped sprinkler, the vase can be used upside down. The wide opening side allows for inserting European natural style flowers, while the narrow opening side is used for creating elegant, simple, and Zen-like Eastern bonsai landscapes. Users can freely choose between the two styles by flipping the vase up and down according to their preferences.
