This fridge magnet artfully blends artifacts from ancient Shu culture with elements of Chengdu's renowned flowers, presenting a playful interactive design of "flowers when closed, vessels when opened". It features an intricately pierced Chinese lattice window, inlaid with a collage of Chengdu's most beloved blossoms. When closed, the underlying artifact patterns peek through the delicate cutouts with subtle elegance. Embellished with Swarovski crystals that catch the light with every movement, the piece transforms the simple act of opening and closing into a moment of sparkling ceremony.



When opened, the base reveals intricate engravings from hunting scene and high-footed censer with bi-color glaze of green and yellow from Qiong kiln, crafted with innovative techniques. From "Blossoms bring joy" to "The town's heavy with blooms", the interplay of poetry, floral motifs, and ancient artifacts breathes vivid life into 3,000-year-old Shu civilization. For added collectible appeal, the fridge magnet can be paired with a wooden display frame and a personalized plaque bearing a unique serial number, turning it into an elegant desk ornament.



In terms of material application, the crystals are produced using clean-energy smelting and cyanide-free electroplating processes. Rejecting conventional microplastics, the fridge magnet instead binds natural mineral particles with plant-based adhesives to create the glittering layers. Designed for sustainability, its modular construction allows for easy disassembly and part replacement, seamlessly merging aesthetic brilliance with eco-responsible innovation.
