Wine Box (Excludes Wine) - Peranakan
Description
Four floral motifs from the Peranakan Collection come together across this handcrafted lacquer Wine Box. The Red Rose, Purple Rose, Pink Lily and Red Peony express wishes of affection, admiration, renewal and abundance, each presented through a ceramic tile. Together, their rich colours and intricate details recall the beauty of Peranakan tilework and the spaces it has adorned through generations.
A considered presentation for a chosen bottle, shaped by heritage and thoughtful craftsmanship.
Wine has long accompanied celebrations and important occasions across cultures. Adorned with four Peranakan floral motifs, this box makes a gracious gift for friends, hosts, colleagues or business partners, bringing cultural character to the meaningful gesture of giving.
-
The early Peranakans adopted the practice of incorporating expensive decorative ceramic tiles into the interior and exterior of their houses. These decorative tiles, usually in floral motifs, added both pastel and vibrant colours into their Victorian-style houses that reflect the East meets West blend of the Straits Chinese. Qua's Peranakan Collection is the embodiment of this and more. Discover more handcrafted pieces in our Peranakan Collection, showcasing the cultural influences that have shaped Peranakan design across generations.

- Cleaning
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners, alcohol, or abrasive materials, which may damage the lacquer coating. Do not soak in water or place under running water. For oils, use a drop of mild, pH-neutral dish soap on a soft sponge. Rinse quickly, then dry immediately with a soft towel. No dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer. - Odour Removal
The smell of newly finished lacquer may be noticeable upon unboxing, but will naturally fade with use. While it is not harmful, we understand if you prefer the smell to dissipate more quickly. You can also place any of these dried goods in small quantities inside your lacquerware for a few days to remove the smell: dry coffee, tea leaves, baking soda or charcoal.
- Storage & Display
Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Avoid high humidity areas which may affect the lacquer surface. If storing for a long time, wrap in soft cloth or tissue paper to prevent scratches. - Handling
Handle with clean, dry hands to prevent oils or moisture from affecting the surface. Do not stack lacquerware pieces directly on top of each other without a protective layer in between; when stacking bowls or plates, place a soft cloth or tissue between pieces to prevent micro-scratches. - Serving & Temperature
Best for dry or lightly moist foods (nuts, snacks, bread, salads without heavy acidity). Keep to room temperature or gently warm foods; avoid piping hot items and boiling liquids. Avoid prolonged contact with alcohol and acidic foods (vinegar, citrus, tomatoes). Avoid sharp or metal cutlery and never cut directly on lacquer surfaces.
