The red base color contrasts beautifully with the white cypress latticework and floral patterns on the interior and exterior, creating a striking design. The white brushstrokes on the body and rim add to the elegance. The cypress latticework consists of two outer layers and three inner layers, with a floral pattern at the center of the rim. The eight eyes of varying sizes add charm, and the rim is particularly exquisite. The clarity of the patterns is unparalleled.
