Production Technology: The box features a distinctive opening mechanism: a gentle press on either side of the embroidered circle causes the lids to open inward like butterfly wings, adding elegance and surprise to the unboxing experience. Inside the lid, intricate dragon pattern silk embroidery enhances visual richness, while golden tea crystal bottles arranged in a semicircle against a black background create a luminous, striking contrast.

The inclusion of Chinese calligraphy and seal design further functions as a synthesis of East and West, and of classical and contemporary aesthetics, adding additional layers of complexity, refinement, and innovation to the project.

The square box features a circular silk embroidery of double dragons, symbolizing the harmony of heaven and earth.
