"Morning Bell" takes the musical instrument, Bell, for inspiration. Accordingly bells were created in the Huangdi era. Then they became a Buddhist instrument. After that, there is drumming at night and bell tolling in the morning. "Night Drums, Morn Bells" means to encourage people to cultivate their spirituality. Having inserted such design into the tea ceremony promotes the idea of modern Zen.

"Morning Bell" series is made of bone china and hand-painted in 24K gold. It requires the arch on the lid to turn 90-degree to lock in with the pot. The arch shows the prevailing light of the Buddha.

TALES incorporates treasures from Asia culture, and reinterprets the heritage with Fashionable, Innovative, and Artistic approaches. In observance of Environmental Care, Humane Care, we strive to realize a sensorial connection between fast paced, highly stressed lifestyle and ancient philosophy practiced in the tea ceremony, the incense burning, and the painting.

"Morning Bell" series takes the meaning of "Night Drums, Morn Bells" further to symbolize that there is a bell of law in the mind of all. When the morning bell tolls, it tolls away addictions and illusions. When the evening bell tolls, it tolls to release suffering and blessing. It not only clears away the confusion and troubles, but also fills peace and joy in their place on earth.

"Morning Bell" series includes a teapot, three tea cups, a tea scoop and a tea jar. The design is developed based on the shape of a bell. The tea cups are hung from a walnut stand for storage. The scoop is for drawing tea powder, and in the shape of a bell hammer for bell tolling, which makes it both practical and creative. All products in this series are made of bone china, hand-painted in 24K gold on the handle of teapot as well as the rim of tea cup. The knob on the lid of the tea jar and the bottom of the tea cup are in gold lotus pattern, symbolizing the auspicious objects of Buddhism. Moreover, the tea-kettle-pot design requires its knob to make a 90-degree turn in order to lock in with the pot. And the knob of an arch renders the prevailing light of the Buddha.
