Set of 4 shot glasses. Each glass features a different sculpted seasonal motif: violet plum blossoms for winter, chrysanthemums for autumn, bamboo for summer, and delicate orchids for spring. In “A Drink to Virtue,” the seasons are celebrated in the ritual of drinking. All glassware is meticulously crafted from Liuli. A drink and a laugh, a sip, a taste, embracing elegance and an understated intoxication.

The green grape design embodies abundance and the ceaseless cycle of life. Rich green LIULI forms encircling vines and full clusters of ripe grapes carved in high relief so that fingertips can trace the texture as the glass turns. The subtly inward curved rim concentrates the wine’s bouquet while the relief pattern reminds the drinker that blessings string together like thriving generations. While the amber loquat embodies continuous blessings by tracing the fruit’s journey through all four seasons budding in autumn flowering in winter fruiting in spring and ripening in summer. Rendered in warm golden LIULI each branch curves around the glass dotted with droplets of crystal light that appear to suspend like morning dew. Embossed loquats and leaves encircle the vessel so that each plump fruit can be admired by touch and every glance becomes a reminder of abundance flowing in unbroken succession. The base of the glass features a pumpkin-shaped stem, symbolizing quiet strength and transformation. Its many facets catch and reflect light, adding visual warmth while evoking the slow ripening of a pumpkin—a metaphor for the beauty that comes with time and patience. Rooted in nature, this design grounds the glass with a sense of balance and seasonal abundance, aligning with the theme of savoring life’s moments mindfully.
