Technologia Productionis: The central motif of the pot is the Forty-nine Union's emblematic seal character logo, encircled by ornate double Chinese dragon motifs. Adorning the reverse side is the prominent character 'Xin', symbolizing 'faith', embellished with the Taotie pattern.

The divider's design is inspired by the 'Zun' vessel shape from the Shang Dynasty, with relief decorations featuring Taotie patterns. Crafted with exquisite white porcelain and delicate gold threading, it exudes a jade-like elegance.

The meticulously carved wooden box showcases a double Chinese dragon motif in African rosewood, accented by a copper square metal at the front. Employing traditional handcrafted mortise and tenon techniques reminiscent of Ming and Qing furniture, it holds significant value for collectors.

Lastly, the brush pot, fashioned from blue and white underglaze white porcelain, is adorned with the Forty-nine Union Poem encircling its body, further enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
Provocatio Designandi: There are two challenges in the process. The first one concerns white porcelain. The ultimate expression of white porcelain is to be as white as snow and as resonant as jade. The second challenge is the difficulty in crafting the square bottle. In pursuit of the perfect effect, we chose these two most challenging elements to complete this set of works.
Investigatio: The research began with the Forty-nine Union, formed by 49 friends driven by love and sharing, all seeking a better life. The goal is to spread the drinking culture and values of the Forty-nine Union to more partners, while also presenting the Chinese philosophies of "Chinese chivalry", "loyalty", and "trust" to a wider audience. The design aim to create a set of works and artworks that can be passed down for more friends to enjoy. The research method involves collecting suggestions and data from all partners, followed by analysis, summarization, and modification. The results of the study have proven successful in achieving the initial objectives, both spreading Chinese philosophical ideas and preserving brand culture.
Inspiratio: Over the past eight years, members of the Forty-nine Union have remained united by their shared faith, endeavoring to craft a collection of symbols representing value, belonging, and honor for each partner, intended to be passed down through generations. Additionally, the collection integrates ancient Oriental philosophy and aesthetics, fostering a deeper appreciation of Chinese liquor culture and bolstering confidence in Chinese culture. This reflects the original intent of the designers.
Duratio Operis: The project started in April 2023 in Shanxi, China and finished in May 2023.
Cursus Operationis: This design offers a full set of tools for enjoying Chinese drinking culture. Its national treasure value and elegant design suggest it could be suitable for upscale occasions. Designed to last for generations, these products also help preserve the environment by being passed down through families.
