RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In Chinese culture, the character and value pursuit of a person are represented by the quality of a product, while the material and modality of the "object" in nature is usually selected to symbolize the excellent personality. Therefore, in the creation process, it is necessary to not only reflect the intuitiveness and quality of the object, but also integrate it well with the culture in order to meet the quality positioning and spiritual value that the product aims to achieve.
CHALLENGE: The frosted rock texture on the bottle must be sprayed with corundum from coarse to fine many times to achieve an overall uniform effect while the process contrast between the polished transparent part of the bottle and the sandblasting texture area is significant. Multiple adjustments are occurred due to the irregular contour of the bottle. A tough requirement lies in the rock cutting process as the slate should be embedded with the wooden box perfectly which is also lead to a high scrap rate.
