Gushu Jinzhu
Gushu Jinzhu is a gift box designed for dried longan fruit. The box uses a lid and base structure and measures 360 by 240 by 90 millimetres. The exterior shows a centuries-old longan tree with gold foiled lettering, engraved textures and twin Loong figures coiled with longan vines. An inner poster describes the traditional drying craft and the moisture-proof function. The box holds four acrylic jars with botanical labels and a celadon glazed tea bowl of 130 millimetres that serves as a fruit tray. The orange red colour marks a festive occasion.
