About The Entry

Nine-Tails · Coral Perch Tea Set draws its design inspiration from the auspicious spirit of the mythical fox, a symbol of wisdom, grace, and good fortune in Eastern culture. Crafted from crystal-clear glass, the handle is formed in the elegant, curling silhouette of a fox and constructed with a hollow interior that encloses natural red coral granules. The lid knob and the bases of the tasting cups are likewise embedded with red coral, creating a subtle visual dialogue from the top of the vessel to the final sip. When light falls upon the glass, the coral glimmers faintly within, appearing and disappearing in a quiet play of translucency and warmth. Rather than displaying ornament openly, the design conceals its auspicious meaning within the material itself, so that it is discovered gradually through the act of use. In this way, every pour of tea and every emptied cup becomes a gentle ritual of inviting good fortune—tea drinking transformed into an encounter with blessings, where luck is not announced but quietly revealed.
