THE STORY BEHIND

The grape motif on this coffee cup embodies three layers of auspicious symbolism:
1.Fertility and Prosperity: In traditional Chinese culture, grapes symbolize "abundant offspring and blessings" due to their clustered fruits and numerous seeds. This design connects the social aspect of coffee drinking with well-wishes for friends' fruitful careers and prosperous lives. ​

2.Journey and Inspiration: The intertwining vines metaphorically represent the journey of coffee beans from cultivation to roasting. The underglaze decoration technique creates translucent grape patterns that echo the rich texture of coffee, subtly conveying a wish for inspiration as plentiful as grapes.​

3.Interconnectedness: The trellis-like design symbolizes the intricate weaving of human relationships, infusing the everyday object with an Eastern philosophical essence of "forming bonds through the cup, connecting the world through vines."​
Moreover, the underglaze decoration technique ensures that the grape patterns are durable and environmentally friendly, making the cup a modern elegant vessel that blends practicality with spiritual symbolism.
